Hi, my name is jric64! Will applying for PIP affect my Universal Credit LCWRA payment?

jric64

I recieve u/credit and this is topped up with the limited work capability payment -

If I decide to put in a claim for PiP. will this limited work capability payment be affected or stopped? I don't want to find myself in the position where I'm actually worse off financially as it's enough of a struggle making ends meet already.

Hi @jric64, your Universal Credit payments won't be stopped if you apply for PIP. They're different benefits and you can have both at the same time, they don't affect each other at all 😊

Welcome to the community by the way, I hope you'll find it useful! I'll pop your post over to our PIP boards in case you have any other questions about it. Our members are very knowledgeable and friendly, so there's lots of support available if you need it!

Thanks Rosie, hopefully I'll be able to find it - I'm a tech idiot and can barely find my way around my own phone, but reassuring to hear that the benefits are independent of one another...
