ESA PIP Pension

Hi all
I am currently on ESA CB in support group and due to get my government pension soon. I know my ESA will stop, but can  I then claim PIP or AA?

If you don’t already claim PIP you can’t claim it once you reach state pension age. It would be AA you need to claim.
You can start a claim for PIP before you reach this age. 

It’s a totally different benefit to ESA and claiming one doesn’t automatically entitle you to the other. 

There’s some information here about PIP. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/
