    Yes, you can claim ESA!  People get PIP to allow them to be as able as they can and [at present] that benefit is given no matter what.  It is there to help you pay for things to make things easier but it isn't meant to keep you whereas ESA is!  Nice to meet you!  Denise11

    Hi ESA is separate benefit and will require separate assessment as it is looking at different criteria.

    You may want to look up what ESA eligibility criteria is and if you feel you are entitled before you apply so you are fully aware of the process.

    You may also want to look on here for advice in the ESA  benefit section
