Does being awarded esa through universal credit as lcwra mean I'm eligible for PIP?

Just wondering if getting awarded esa through universal credit as lcwra that would mean possibly entitled to claim pip too? Any advice please

Hello Sonia18
A simple answer is 'yes'
However, it will be useful to see the advice about Benefits (on this site) as thill will explain your eligibility. You can also request a PIP Claim Form from DWP as this also comes with helpful information & guidance.
The form itself is quite complicated and specific and you may wish to have somebody to help you completing the form.
Hope this helps...

Hi @sonia18
You can check your eligibility by using Scope's Benefits calculator and Help completing benefit claim form pages.

ESA and PIP are separate benefits and use different criteria. Being awarded ESA LCWRA does not automatically mean that you will be awarded PIP, you still need to meet the criteria for the descriptors that may apply to you
