    Heya @CGood1 and welcome to the community from me too!

    Because PIP and UC are separate benefits and they tend not to interact with each other. I'd suggest leaving a note on your UC journal and report ill health and ask for a "WCA" (work capability assessment) this will also involve getting sick notes from your doctor to hand in, but it would get the ball rolling. I'm sure someone else can explain it a lot better than me though. But I just wanted to pop in and say a quick hello. 😊

    Hello @StoneyShadow47 and a warm welcome to the community. 😊 Can I assume from your message that you don't currently claim PIP? While I understand your point of view, it's important to remember that many people can and do claim PIP alongside working, some even fulltime. In addition, not everyone is able to do the sorts of activities you've listed and while you can work and claim PIP, there is no obligation to do so.

    Good afternoon @CGood1, do you need any more help with understanding the work capability assessment?

    I've done a few of these meetings . I wouldn't professs to be a professional Patcient . But I do find them a bit of a personal imposition.

    Especialy when sensitive status facts are already known .

    However I usually remain calm .
