    What other benefits do you claim - or if you have a partner what do you each claim?

    Can you please answer the question about whether or not you already claim any other benefits. Without that information we can't answer your question.

    In general being entitled to PIP doesn't entitle you to anything else unless you are receiving any old income based benefits such as income ESA and you live alone.
    Enhanced rate PIP mobility gives you have access to the Motability car scheme.
    Somebody else could claim Carer's Allowance or the carer element of UC for looking after you - but this might impact your own benefits if you are getting an old income based benefit.

    Looking at your other thread you’re already claiming UC with your partner. Other than council tax reduction there’s no other benefits you can claim. See thread lhttps://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/99116/ive-moved-in-with-my-partner-will-i-still-get-lcwra#latest
    All the advice I’ve given is on there.
