Hey just wondering if you are on ESA and PIP will this stop if you become pregnant and need to claim child benefit?

Hi @Mazzz79 and welcome to the community!
Nope, Child Benefit doesn't affect ESA or PIP.
It's ignored for income-related benefits. I imagine you'll need to inform ESA of the pregnancy, but I've been unable to find a consensus online. It might be worth getting advice from a local advice agency, calling ESA directly or our helpline on 0808 800 3333.
