    Hello @asouthwood and welcome to the community. Glad to have you join us.
    I'm no expert myself, but no, I'm pretty sure that ESA and PIP are quite different. As it is, I am sure that some of our more knowledgeable members and experts will be along to offer you advice, so bear with us in the meantime and we will get back to you asap.
    Warmest best wishes to you,
    Richard

    Hi asouthwood and welcome

    ESA is for people who are unable to work due to  illness or disability
    PIP is for people that need help with daily living and mobility

    You can receive PIP even if you work full time
