^^ This. Depending on which benefits they receive exactly. When selling their home if there's equity in it and they receive more than £16,000 then all means tested benefits will end. PIP isn't means tested so won't be affected.

Would make sense to. While they might not want to do anything. It is common sense.

Hi So my Mum Gets Severe Disability Allowance

This isn't possible because it no longer exists. Severe disability premium exists but for her to claim this then your dad will also need to be claiming a qualifying benefit such as PIP daily living, DLA mid/high rate care or Attendance Allowance or he must be registered blind. If he does and they're claiming the severe disability premium then this will stop when they go to live with you.

You really need to find out exactly what benefits they are both claiming.

Hi So looking at my mums Paperwork she gets PIP and SDA Benefits Basic Rate , My Dad does not get any carers benefits.
So from what i gather if they come live with me then my mum will loose the Benefits she is getting , Unless i am a Carer for my mum or can my dad be a carer For my mum but living with me?

She won't lose PIP. (I don't know what SDA is.)

Either one or both of you could be a carer for her; if she gets the daily living element of PIP and if one person caring for her for 35hrs+ is earning under £128 per week after tax, NI and allowable expenses, they could claim Carer's Allowance.

Hi So my Dad does care for her For many years ,  he is retired in his 70s but does not claim for carers allowance , He gets state Pension and Winter Fuel payments no other income As far as. Have been told.
I just thought they are both living in their home they bought over 30 years ago but think its just too big for them to look after now at their age and my mums Ailments , So was thinking if they Sell their home and they could come live with me , but in the process I don’t want my mum loosing her benefits which she is entitled too.
I guess the other option is my Parents Purchase a smaller manageable home under the same Council ( don’t think council part matters?) then she will maintain all her benefits?

The SDA i was under the impression it is severe Disability Allowance , it says it in Brackets (SDA) 
on  JobsCentreplus headed letter.
another thing they get the Car Tax payed under the benefits too.
