Hi I have Fibromyalgia and pulmonary stenosis. I haven’t been able to work for 16+ years. My son also has autism. I’m on ESA at the minute would I be better off applying for PIP

Hi @Dinky27 welcome to the community!
Have a look at the information provided in our PIP section which explains all you need to know. PIP is not based on your disability/condition, it focuses on how your disability affects/prevents you from following out daily activities, such as washing and dressing, cooking and your mobility.
Do let us know if you have any further questions!Disability Gamechanger - 2019 -
