The whole point of SDP and the policy intention was to give some extra benefit to those people who have personal care needs and have no-one else to help them. So the thinking is that if a carer is paid to come and help you make the bed or do the ironing or prepare a meal etc or if you have an able bodied adult (non dep or partner) living with you, then you don’t get SDP.
