    You would need to update your address on UC account, and call PIP to give them your new address. 
    If claiming Housing Element of UC, they will need your new rent details no earlier than the date you move in

    You don’t need to reapply for UC because you’re already claiming it. It’s just a change of address as advised.

    PIP is the same and a simple change of address. Not sure what you mean by “transferred over “ you’re moving to England and nothing will change with your PIP. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
