Hi everyone, I'm new on here and was looking for some advice if possible, I'm on UC and I'm unfit for work and work related activity and I had an assessment in July 2022 and was wandering if I will need another assessment for my claim for pip or will they just use the UC one, thanks

PIP is assessed differently so is not based on the UC assessment.0

Ok thanks I just thought because it's part of DWP I might not need another assessment0

Yes both are part of DWP but they are completely different benefits, with totally different criteria. Being entitled to one doesn't automatically entitle you to the other.
