Had a very irritable discussions with some auditors couple of years back about this. As you have no award letter to evidence the SSG so you can’t disregard it, they said, I thought it was a joke but they were adamant.

Anyway, you have the details of your claim so look through the link below and it shows you eligibility and amounts (From £0.00 to £4221.00) depending on circumstances. So, if they qualify, you disregard the figure appropriate to their circumstances.
