We called dwp over 2 weeks ago to ask what is happening and they said they had received the form and were looking at it, it has now been over 2 months without benefit? I really don't know what to do as find it hard to cope with the stress and understanding these?
Thanks

I am sorry but I am a bit confused by your post.
You say you are receiving a Carers Allowance payment are you caring for somebody and are you still doing this now that you have moved.
You also mention the Severe Disability Premium, is this what you at referring to when you mention CA? The two are not the same!
Re the SDP, as you have moved the DWP have to confirm that you still meet the criteria for payment, these are that you live alone and the no one receives Carers Allowance for you.
I don't know why but from comments on B&W and other forums, the DWP seem to take a long time to process SDP requests, all I can suggest is that you continue to chase them.
If you are suffering financial hardship due to the SDP not being paid then you can try involving your MP.
Contacting your MP

If you have said on the form that they care for you this may be at the root of the delay, as they may be checking whether a CA claim is in place.

I would be very surprised if it was either of these.
