Can you claim DLA plus ESA?

As DLA isn't means tested can you claim for it if you're on ESA?

    You don't need to be disabled to get ESA as it's about whether you are able to work or not. You don't need to be 'sick' to get DLA as it's about care and mobility needs, not whether you're fit for work.
