No pip has nothing to do with it yes everyone got esa assessment mines in tribunal just got to wait fill it in ,if fail do mandatory reconsideration if fail go tribunal if fail you stop getting esa0

Hi @nini1963, being on PIP will not affect the outcome of ESA as they are two separate benefits with PIP not being means tested it is possible to claim both. The majority of people go for an assessment. I hope this helps!

Thanks for answering my questions can I ask is it easier to stay on esa then pip0

HI,I wouldn't take anything for granted for either of them. Always treat every review as a new claim and make sure you send evidence to support your claim.2

You don’t lose pip going for esa assessment your esa stops till they decide your pip continues unless they tell you0

Dotty123 said:You don’t lose pip going for esa assessment your esa stops till they decide your pip continues unless they tell youThat's not correct. Your ESA continues until a decision is made and it will only stop if you're found fit for work. People claim ESA successfully without any problems at all but we rarely hear about those good stories. People will always post the bad stories.PIP has nothing to do with ESA.1

It's not about a diagnosis, it's how those conditions affect your ability to do any type of work and this is what you'll be assessed for.
