Hello I'm in the process of claiming pip due to mental/emotional problems, if I get accepted will I have to cancel my universal credit as I currently claim UC.
If so what other benefits will I be able to claim alongside pip as I don't think pip alone will be enough to live on. Thank you.

Hi Have PIP and have been awarded UC, they are aware that I am shielding and have a Disability which limits me to what work I can do, and that I can only work part time.0
