Hi everyone advice about change of circumstances esa and pip

paul98

Good evening and hello to the community I'm new to this and after some advice I'm on income based esa and get disability premium and get pip and full housing benefits and full council tax benefits my son has just moved out to live with his girlfriend he isn't on any benefits I'm after some advice if I need to report a change in circumstances to esa and pip I think Iwill have to report it to housing benefits as I have 2 bedrooms and will have to pay bedroom tax thank you in advance if any one can give me advice

Yes you need to update housing benefit and council tax.

Your PIP and ESA are not affected.

paul98

OK thank you for the reply

paul98

So I wouldn't have to inform pip and esa of change of circumstances

Kimi87

That's correct, as it's irrelevant who does or doesn't live with you.

paul98

OK thank you I was just confused as on dwp website it says if a person moves out its classed as change in circumstances

Kimi87

Do you already receive Severe Disability Premium with your ESA?

What is your PIP award please?

paul98

Yes recive severe disability premium on esa and get standard daily and high mobility pip

I was just making sure in case you weren't getting it but could be entitled to it 😊
