Good to see you all, newbie here. 

 I'm looking forward to learning about how a possible move to Northern Ireland from England (York) might affect my benefits (full rate PIP & ESA with support,  plus housing benefit).

All best
Bobbie

    If you move and you need to claim for help with any rent then you will need to claim Universal Credit. This will end any Income Related ESA you're claiming 2 weeks later.

    Any contributions based ESA you're claiming will continue but be deducted in full from any UC entitlement. If you're in the Support Group for ESA then you'll be entitled to the LCWRA element of UC from the start of your claim.

    PIP will continue as normal but you'll need to report a change of address.
