Hi All,

I am on PIP, enhanced for both elements and CB ESA, limited capability for work group. My brother looks after me and has been advised to claim the carers element of UC, but we can't find out if it will impact my PIP or contribution based ESA Can anyone help?

    No it won't impact either.

    The old Income Related ESA would have been affected, but everyone on that has now transferred to Universal Credit and it no longer exists.

    Hi @wattsl01 and a warm welcome to the community from me.

    Your PIP and ESA shouldn't be impacted at all😊 Do you think your brother will apply?

    Lovely to have you here and I look forward to seeing you around the community!
