Hi,Your LCWRA award will have no relevance to a PIP claim. They are 2 different benefits, with different criteria. PIP is not about your ability to work.Whether you qualify for PIP will depend on how your conditions affect you in relation to the 12 PIP activities. You can see those, along with a lot more information here. https://pipinfo.net/Do be aware that backlogs are huge so if you do decide to apply then it can take about 10 months from the date you apply to having a decision.

Welcome to the community from me too @kittykatnipster
It's great to have you with us!
I wasn't sure if you were planning on making a separate post about your PIP query or not, so I moved this one into the PIP category Teddybear12 mentioned just in case.
As poppy123456 has explained, you certainly can claim both. If you have any questions about the PIP process, please do ask!0
