    You only get PIP automatically if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness and have 12 months or less to live. Other than that you have to apply for it and go through an assessment. Having LCWRA doesn't mean you get PIP and is an entirely different benefit with its own requirements.

    Hi there @Gurdipsingh and welcome to the community. :)

    As Rubin has said, only those with terminal illnesses automatically get PIP, everyone else has to apply and go through the same assessment process.
