Hi

I have just been awarded pip . Do I need to inform universal credit?
Does pip affect your housing benefit.  I am single mum to one child and on universal credit.

    You will only be claiming housing benefit if you’re living in either supported or temporary housing. If not then your rent will be paid in with your UC known as housing element. They are completely different benefits.

    As you’re a single mum then your PIP award will not affect your UC and your entitlement will remain the same.
