Hi All
I'm getting things ready for my F2F for ESA. I've got some FME that I will be showing to the assessor. Is it worth showing the assessor my Pip award and what I scored the points in.

PIP and ESA are different benefits but a PIP award can help an ESA award but it will depend on what you scored points in for the PIP award.dave030445 wrote: »Hi All

I claim both and during my last ESA review in Oct/Nov last year, i sent my PIP assessment report and award letter with my form. The reason i sent it is because i claim Enhanced mobility for moving around. It helped my claim but i also needed to prove that i could self propel a manual wheelchair. My PIP award was mentioned in the assessment report.0 -

Hi thanks, I will dig out my PIP award and show it at my f2f. I should of known really to show my PIP award because how can one decision contradict the other. As they are both from DWP0 -
As advised, they are different benefits with different criteria. A person can claim PIP and work.dave030445 wrote: »how can one decision contradict the other. As they are both from DWP0 -

Yes maybe claim one and not the other but they can't (or shouldn't) contradict each other. Which is what I said.0
