Hi hope some one can put my mind at rest. I am due to have my assessment in two weeks time.I suffer with Copd and stress anxiety and depression. I have a full time carer and was awarded standard rate pip. Is the assessment the same for this benefit has pip. Thankyou

Is this a new claim or a move from ESA ?
The assessment for UC is not the same as the PIP assessment
PIP is to help people with difficulties with functionality and can be paid to people who work
UC is taking over the out of work benefit and incorporating some others. So this is about your ability to work
Have a look at the self test for ESA / WCA
