    Your PIP award will have been reported to ESA, for ESA to see if any premiums now apply to your ESA claim.

    Even though no premiums are paid with New Style ESA & Income Related ESA has been closed to new claims since 2013 & is basically extinct at this point in time with the migration to UC very nearly complete 🙃
