    They are different benefits with different criteria but some descriptors are similar. There's no harm in sending your PIP letter as part of your evidence for the ESA.

    Heya @bench and welcome to the community.

    As Poppy has said, they're two separate entities, but I'd say it'd be fine to include your PIP letter as evidence. It all helps! Congratulations on your PIP award too. 😊
