Legally you’re disabled under the Equality Act 2010 if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a ‘substantial’ and ‘long-term’ negative effect on your ability to do normal daily activities.
https://www.gov.uk/definition-of-disability-under-equality-act-2010
Someone in receipt of PIP would, in general, meet this definition, but impacts resulting from some conditions are excluded so some PIP claimants might not be legally disabled.
A curious feature is that someone diagnosed with cancer and some other conditions is legally disabled even though the cancer may have no adverse impact at the time of diagnosis.0 -

Looking at the first comment i see the OP has edited their question because it did originally ask if getting PIP mean you're entitled to LCW/LCWRA because a friend of theres is spliting up with their partner. Clearly my comment now makes no sense at all because of their edit.0
