Can you please let me know if I can help/support you with ???
Warm welcome.
Good news PIP is disregarded as income and is not classed as taxable income.
Therefore it will not affect your housing benefit.
I would recommend that you seek the support from CAB or a Welfare Rights Advisor in your local area to get assistance with your PIP claim.
Hope this helps, please come back for any futher assistance.
best wishes

PIP replaces DLA. If you haven’t been invited to claim and there’s been no increase in the consequences of your ill health then I don’t see why you need to rush the transfer from one to the other. Get face to face advice to clarify if you’d be better holding onto the DLA until PIP invite you to claim.
