Hi @lindyloo42 - PIP doesn't normally affect ESA, as they're separate benefits. I see you get income-related ESA, do you by any chance live on your own?

Yes

Someone else said they could stop it to calculate I've no idea how it works

They may very well be looking at the Severe Disability Payment for which you now may be eligible as you have been awarded the daily living component of PIP. Please see: https://www.gov.uk/disability-premiums/eligibility   this would add £****.40 per week.
