Hi guys,

If i have a pip review will i have a UC review? This is stressing me out so much because if i have tried to adjust my meds for side effects and i think they will go harsh on me and twist thing like they do instead of listen. iv had a rough time at the moment and i do not want to go into poverty like last time and lose my pet. Its making me so anxious and ill.

    They are both completely different benefits and one doesn't affect the other as far as reviews are concerned. A review of either of those would not prompt a review for the other. If you were contacted for a review for both at the same time, or around the same time, it would be a coincidence.

    I claim ESA and PIP and recently had my review for PIP and I wasn't contacted by ESA for a review. I've claimed both benefits since 2013 and have never been contacted by both at the same time.

    My experience with them is that they twist things and would use anything to get a result they want. I would expect them to go after my UC while i fight for my PIP. and while i can survive homelessness on my own im worried about my puppy. Any cut in my money will make it difficult for me to meet ends meet.

    As Poppy says these are completely different benefits and if both reviews were carried out at the same time this would be a coincidence.

    Yh i have very little faith in this. My pups already been ill and i have had to take him to vet which means im using food bank temporarily. I have very little trust in UC. I thought LWCRA meant i would not have a review and they would just let me cope.

    I'm sorry your puppy hasn't been well. Do you have a PDSA in your area? If you do then you can fill in a short form and maybe able to get reduced or free treatment for your puppy. This link will tell you if there's one local to you.

    The majority of people with LCWRA are reviewed at some point.
