The process of applying for the SDP on my ESA is ridiculous. Have to wait for an IS10 form to be posted to me, can't get the form any other way. It is silly that I need to apply for the premium when they already hold all the information - i.e. they know I live alone, no one gets carers allowance for me and that I am entitled to the relevant component of DLA.
Unfortunately, because they do not come out to check your housing situation, they need a declaration from you (IS10) that you meet the criteria.

I have received that form and have returned it to DWP in the prepaid envelope.
Also, several months after the initial DLA award my made a SAR to DWP. I have amended the letter I used to make the previous SAR and have made a subsequent one based on this recent DLA renewal decision, should it be useful to have a copy of everything and for what conditions specifically they have made my award on.
