Hi shortass
Answer no they are similar but have different qualifying criteria so are assessed separately.
Note that some people receiving pip are still able to work because this is for help with personal needs such as washing dressing cooking toileting and walking.Also for people with mental health issues preventing them from leading a life without support.
ESA is purely based on your capability in the workplace.

Hi Debsidoo.x at the moment lm the support group with esa I started getting pip l got 11 point which l was really pleased with then had too have it reviewed just too see if l was getting the right amount now l have got no point at all just don’t understand if nothing has changed with ur health how can you go from 11 point to 0 as dwp said there is nothing wrong with me all why do doctor put people on tablet if there nothing wrong with a person just don’t get it0

Hi @shortass, and welcome! Sorry to hear about your PIP experience, unfortunately many of our members have had similar experiences themselves. Are you appealing the decision? Do let us know if we can offer any support.0

Hi again @shortass,
Just to clarify, was it a Mandatory Reconsideration that you had before? If so, you can still take this further and appeal the decision: there's some more guidance on this process on Scope's website.0 -
Hi pippa yes it was a mandatory reconsideration l had too run after them because they forgot all about me and when they did they sent the wrong letter out0
-
Hi @shortass, just saw this and thought I'd check in! How are you doing? Did you pursue the mandatory reconsideration in the end?0
