    Do the DWP know you're working and claiming ESA?

    Why would you want to re-apply for PIP when you're already claiming? What award do you currently have?

    You can't reapply for ESA because you already claim it.

    Same for PIP, you already claim it so can't re-apply. You can put in a change of circumstances but you risk losing all of your current award when doing this. What you need to do is look at the PIP descriptors to see where you can score those extra points needed for a higher award. There's no point in putting in a change of circumstances if you can't score those extra points. You'll need evidence to support your claim too and another assessment will most like be needed.
