No. As advised on your other thread here. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/90449/lwrca-and-pip-awards#latest your PIP is completely different benefit to UC and you will receive both. The PIP will not affect any of your UC.

As advised in your other thread your UC will be unchanged by your PIP award.

Not clear why you are asking the question again.

Sorry Calcotti just that I didn't make it clear last night. Thank you.

I hope that's put your mind at rest a bit @Deborah11

Thank you Tori I think it has. Was not sure about how things work with the benefits.

It can certainly be a confusing system @deborah11. If you have any further questions, whether they be about benefits or another topic, please do let us know  

Did you have a good weekend?
