    I got accepted for Severe Disability Premium which means I get more money on my ESA. I was wondering will I still get full housing benefit and council tax benefit since I’m getting more money on my ESA with SDP? Please advise.

    The SDP will not affect any other benefits in a bad way and you'll continue to receive what you were receiving before the SDP was added.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hi, 

    You say you live with parents, if this is both parents then they will both need to be claiming a qualifying benefit such as PIP daily living or DLA mid/high rate care for you to qualify. No one must also be claiming carers allowance or carers element of universal credit for looking after you.
