I’ve got to claim for universal credit instead of receiving ESA. I also get PIP. Do they take that into consideration?

    The only thing PIP could potentially do is impact Housing Element (in a good way).

    Otherwise it has no effect on a UC award.

    Your ESA group will transfer over with you, so if in Support Group you will automatically get the UC equivalent (LCWRA). It can take a few weeks for ESA to confirm your status.

    Hi there @Montypup and welcome to the community. 😊

    I can see Kimmy has already answered your question, but I just wanted to pop in and say a quick hello. 😁
