Good afternoon @laura70 and welcome to the community. 😊

Congratulations on your PIP award, that must be a huge relief?
No you don't need to inform UC regarding your new award, no problem there.

For your UC Housing Element, do you have any non dependant deductions?

Do you have a spare bedroom and regularly need overnight care from a non resident?

laura70

No just me . No other people and no extra rooms .

In that case PIP has no impact on your UC award, and you don't need to tell them.
