in PIP, DLA, ADP and AA
Hello I have been awarded pip with 6 weeks of my application received standard living and enhanced mobility for 2 years
I have informed dwp via my journal and I think they already in formed council tax as got a letter from council regarding info from dwp
Through universal credit I get money towards my housing association rent do I need to tell my landlord or is informing my journal enough 
As dwp made the award  decision on my pip assessment do they still wait for the medical assessment for my uc50 form of which I sent back on 23march 
Thanx in advance

    Hello @mickymoo. Great news about your PIP.
    Unfortunately being awarded PIP doesn't necessarily mean you'll be awarded LCWRA from your UC50. the reason being is you can claim PIP and work fulltime. There is some crossover in the descriptors so your PIP decision and report could be used as evidence in support of your UC50 but you'd have to read through and decide if that's the case.

    Hi as above UC and the UC50 you completed are completely separate to your PIP award.

    You will still need to have a work capability assessment for UC this could be paper based, phone or f2f dependant on what they decide.

    PIP may well have informed council tax but have you put in a claim for council tax relief through your local council each council is different and rates of relief determined by them

    Hi if you already claimed council tax relief then it should be ok I got reduction b4 being awarded PIP and then once awarded PIP informed them and got further reduction 

    Believe me the wait you have had is very short I had to wait over 6 months for mine and a further month for decision and I know others have waited a lot longer 

    Good luck for 6th keep us updated
