Moving into supported living shouldn't stop your daily living award. This would only happen if you're either in hospital or living in a care home for more than 28 days.

As poppy says, if it is supported living then your PIP is not affected.

If living in a care home then the Daily Living would stop after 28 days. Entitlement to SDP in ESA would stop when the PIP Daily Living stops.

Care home and supported living are 2 completely different things.

Supported living is not a care home. They are 2 completely different things.

If you are in supported living it has no impact on your benefits. you will still get your Daily living PIP and the SDP in your ESA.

That's good!

You said in your first post "around 6 months time". Have they given you anymore information on that timeline?
