I can never get anyone to answer phone

There are certain conditions attached to SDP the first of which is that you receive ESA (IR) in some form
Then- you live alone
- you get the middle or highest care component of DLA
- no-one gets Carer’s Allowance for looking after you
You may also get it if you meet all these conditions:
- you have a partner and no one else lives with you or your partner
- Carer’s Allowance is paid for only one of you
- you both get the daily living component of PIP, AFIP or Attendance Allowance or the middle or highest rates of the care component of DLA
You may still get it if you meet all of these conditions:
- you have a partner who is registered blind
- no one lives with you and your partner
- you get the middle or highest rate of DLA care component or the daily living component of PIP or AFIP
- no-one gets Carer’s Allowance for looking after you
Do you fulfill all of theses criteria ?
