Hi @johnbjohn, welcome to the community!
Yes you can, but if you’re currently in receipt of SDP you can’t presently apply for UC.0 -
I have multiple sclerosis which I have just been diagnosed , would that entitle me to any other benefit. Thanks0

Hi,It will totally depend on your circumstances. Universal credit is a means tested benefit and claiming it depends on other household income. I'd advise a visit to your local CAB for a full benefits check.0

Can I claim universal credit and also pip? Thank you0

They are two separate benefits. If you meet the criteria then you can claim both

Please tell me the criteria thanks0

For Universal credit it will depend on your circumstances. Household income, savings/capital. Putting your details into a benefits calculator will tell if you'll be eligible to claim or not. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/ Or you can make an appointment at an advice agency near you for a full benefits check.
