    Hi and welcome to the community 

    You can apply for pip it is a separate benefit and will not affect your lcwra or uc in anyway

    Pip is not a means tested benefit so is disregarded for other benefits

    Hello @Bonnie1234

    Welcome to the community, how are you today? 

    As mentioned above, PIP is a completely separate benefit to Universal Credit, so yes you would absolutely be able to receive PIP at the same time as your UC. 

    You can read further information about PIP on this Scope page.
