Hi @Scampy123,
As they are two separate benefits, you can claim PIP when on ESA. You may find this recent community discussion on the same topic of interest to you, where @Scope_rosie says:Yes, you can claim ESA and PIP (and many people do) - ESA is paid to people who can't work because of their condition or impairment. PIP is paid to people who have difficulty doing things in their daily lives because of their condition or impairment. So people who both can't work, and also have difficulty doing daily stuff, can claim both benefits - they are for different thingsI hope this helps. If you have any other questions, then please do get in touch!0
