    Hi,

    ESA doesn't automatically go up when you get PIP.

    If you live alone then you can claim the Severe Disability Premium (SDP) on top of your normal ESA.

    If you get Housing Benefit and are under 35 then you will now be entitled to the one-bedroom rate of LHA instead of the Shared Rate.
