Hi @charlottecardwell

Yes there is one that I am also on which is (ESA)

I can also ask my senior members if there’s anything available for you.

Yes please! Thank you so much. I am currently claiming enhanced living rate, and the standard daily living rate for pip.

Hello @charlottecardwell. I noticed you posted this query on my wall so I've answered there. But it mainly depends on the rest of your situation, such as whether you live alone, if you have any savings etc.

HI,

I see you are 20 years old, are you a student? Do you claim any other benefits other than PIP?
