PIP is totally different to ESA and UC and it's not means tested. See link in above post.


Not sure what supplemental ESA is.

So pip replaces DLA and UC replaces ESA, my mum, once signed off sick, could claim UC to top up sick pay salary and maybe small reduction in council tax is that right? And apply for mobility aspect of pip? Is there a time period where she would have to wait before claiming?

The time limits for PIP are contained in post number 2 by Mojisola.

There are no time limits on UC or CTR.
