PIP is not about medication or conditions you have you get points on the basis of how your conditions affect you carrying out the descriptors it's always a risk to report a change of circumstances so you have to make sure that it's going to affect the points you are getting before reporting it

Hi,

No, your ESA claim has nothing to do with a PIP claim because they're 2 completely different benefits.
