Dear Forum,
I am new here so sorry if this sounds a little frantic, i'm in a full manic bipolar swing atm.
I currently live in a area where i can claim ESA support group, PIP high daily living and low mobility, and housing benefit. But in January i am moving to an area that is now a full UC area, And i have no idea what to do.
I went to put a claim in for housing benefit online for new area and was told i need to claim UC, will this mean that my ESA and pip will stop until a reassessment that i only had 3 weeks ago. and i will no longer get any money, or less money ???
I am now worried to move although i have to, as my money will stop and i wont even get housing benefit.
If one of you lovely people can help me, understand a little better, i will be forever grateful.

This absolutely won’t affect your PIP.
Is your ESA income based or contributions based?0 -
