Forgive me, but I am confused
In your initial post this afternoon you said you were now receiving middle rate care and Attendance Allowance only has two rates; middle and high!

So it sounds like both of you may be eligible for SDP.

It is possible that she will not, but the SDP will increase the amount of Pension Credit that she can claim and may bring it in to payment, also PC is one of the most under-claimed benefits, so I would not be surprised if she was already eligible, but it will depend on her personal circumstances.
