Pip and uc, will it trigger assessment

lillipeth

Hi, I’m currently on lcwra and have been awarded pip. I think I should tell them (uc) but I’m so nervous it will trigger an assessment as I think it’s probably due. Any advice or information please?

Hi @lillipeth - UC & PIP are totally separate benefits & this isn't a change of circumstances, so you don't need to report it. Please check here: https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit/changes-of-circumstances
