I hope you are all ok ?? I’m just asking, do any of the PIP and ESA descriptors cross? I wondered whether to send my ESA report as evidence in my PIP claim (1st time applying in both and awarded SG for ESA) I’m assuming if PIP wanted to see they would just call it up on a screen, thank you in advance ??

    @Username_removed thank you, I was just wondering whether to send my ESA report back as further evidence but tbh I’ve sent loads including the ones I sent for ESA and assuming they can tap into other benefits to make a decision, thank you ??

      You shouldn't "assume" anything when claiming any benefits like this. When sending medical evidence if it doesn't state exaclty how your conditions affect you then you should say to yourself, is this useful.  If you've already sent "loads" is more really needed? Less is very often more.
