    You will not lose any housing element or Universal Credit if you receive the Daily Living component of PIP.

    Your council tax support may be impacted, especially if you are claiming single person discount.

    Hi @suzymaltwood2612 and welcome to the community 😊

    Here's some information about how it would affect your benefits - Non-Dependants. It might be worth using a benefits calculator to find out the difference in money you would receive.

    PIP won't be affected at all 😊

    All local Authorities have their own rules regarding council tax reduction so we won’t be able to advise with that.

    Housing benefit and housing element have the same rules, if your PIP includes the daily living part there’s no non dependant deductions.
