ESA and DLA are separate benefits, one should not affect the other
Do you get any of the premiums ?

Hi lorraine1988,
As CR states your ESA stopping will have no effect on your PIP. If you've not had a payment of PIP when you were due one you'll need to call PIP on 0345 850 3322 to find out what's happened to it.
