Is housing benefit ending?

I am seriously considering not migrating to UC because the whole thing is going to make me too ill. If I decide to just manage on PIP, will I be able to still keep my housing benefit claim as long as I don't move house? Or is this being phased out along with ESA?

    Housing benefit is also being replaced by UC for those of working age.

    Part of me just feels like it's the universe telling me it's my time, I lost my dog earlier this year even though she should have lived another 5 years and I wasn't supposed to have another PIP review till 2028 and now they might want to take it away.

    I've had a ton of therapy I know the universe doesn't really care about me... It's really making me want to not try anymore tho. I might just live in a van instead, drive up to the North of Scotland and park near a quiet beach. I'd like that 😪
