Hi connie

Hello Connie. Severe Disability Premium is extra income support paid for people on Middle or Higher rate DLA who live alone. If you have a carer who gets carers allowance then they take it back. Its over £60 a week and they will back pay it.

hi, ive also just sent back the form, still waiting to hear, the form was basically just asking if I lived alone or not. as I do, I presume that's what its for. fingers crossed!
