    They are completely different benefits, with totally different criteria.

    I know there completely different benefits, that was not what I was asking!

    Not sure what other answer you would have liked!

    To be fair lots of people do assume that PIP automatically means they should be treated as having LCW or LCWRA and don't understand why that's not the case. Poppy's reply was the explanation for why it doesn't work like that.

    We have a lot of members that don't quite get the answers they were expecting.... I wasn't being smug at all. I was simply stating a fact. I also claim ESA and PIP but i certainly don't expect to automatically be entitled to one because i claim the other.

    also here is why Poppy said what she said. ‘Automatic passport’ sounds an awful lot like ‘automatic entitlement’ because guess what, it is the same.

    anyway I’m sure many more people will PM you with support now, so you’re welcome...
