    If the worst happened (very unlikely) and your ESA stopped this will not affect your PIP. They are 2 completely different benefits and PIP isn't means tested like your ESA is. 
    I heard just now on internet that esa can’t stop my benfift if you have less than 16,000 saveings if you have 16,000 saveings benfift be stop well me and my partner don’t have 16,000 in bank so this true
    I did advise you that your ESA will not stop because you did say in a previous thread that you don't have more than £16,000. 

    I also advised you that the backdated money that you and your partner received isn't counted towards your savings for 1 year after you received it but you still rang ESA. All this worry and anxiety could have been avoided. 
    Ok did not know that so did right thing anyway

    Yet I did advise you on your other thread so I don’t understand how you didn’t know. 
    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.
