    For a start you will normally start to reclaim PIP 12 months before the end date of the current award.
    Yes you can show it to the DWP as evidence. But whether it is relevant is another matter - ESA and PIP have totally different criteria.

    PIP awards are reviewed 1 year before the award is due to end. You say he's been sent an appointment for an assessment? He should have received review forms to fill in and return with all the evidence to support a claim, was this received?

    He can certainly take the ESA Tribunal decision letter with him, whether they accept it or not is a totally different matter. They are different benefits. If he currently has Enhanced mobillity for PIP then the ESA award isn't going to help because the distance for both is totally different. For PIP it's no more than 20 metres and for ESA it's no more than 50 metres.
