    Hi and welcome to the community 

    The £650 is for those on immense tested benefits like uc , esa , etc 

    Those just on pip will get ,£150 paid in Sept as well as the £400 paid on your energy bill over 6 months from Oct

    There's New style ESA but you haven't worked and paid the correct amount of NI contributions in tax years April 2019 to March 2021 then you won't be entitled to it.
    Universal Credit is the only other benefit but because it's means tested you will need to claim with your partner and both of your circumstances will be take into consideration. (if you live together) You can use a benefits calculator to check entitlement.

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
