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 -
Thank you so much, it' s so kind of you to reply so quickly

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.Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.
