Can you claim ESA as well as PIP?

Hi I work with young adults and one young man is concerned that he can't claim ESA as it will affect his PIP payments. Can anyone advise us on this please? He isn't in receipt of anything other than PIP.

PIP is for the extra costs of disability.
ESA is for people who have limited capability for work.
He should claim as soon as possible & ask for up to 3 months backdating. He doesn't need to give a reason!
