Thank you very much for your reply I can’t belive it thought I would have nothing but trouble with it but relieved it’s sorted for 2 years

Good on you for getting your pip. Did you get the higher or lower component for both? X

Hi daisey02 I was awarded the standard for living and enhanced for mobility

It's a separate benefit paid every 4 weeks

Hi glad you have been awarded PIP there are two parts, Mobility and the Care component, your letter will tell you which you have been awarded, it could be you have been awarded both Mobility and Care. You will receive this on top of your ESA which is a different benefit and not affected by your entitlement to PIP because PIP is not means tested. Hope this helps. Misty xx

PIP and ESA are two separate benefits and each has its own extra benefits which enable you to claim additional benefits. Contact your Cab who may be able to advise you on such matters.
