Hi @Trish21

I don't know if you have had this answered on the PIP board but I am happy to give you an answer.

PIP is not counted as income for Housing Benefit purposes so you do not need to tell them if the increase is just the usual April increase.

Hope that helps,

Joanne

Neither of those benefits are means tested so it makes no difference.

This is an old thread from 3 years ago that you’ve posted on and is related to housing benefit.

Your question was also answered on your other thread here https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/105197/contributions-based-esa-support-group-and-pip#latest
