    If you are entitled to Universal credit there will be no impact on PIP.

  • Thank you, because of some health issues that have developed over the past year I am unable to work for the time being you see. Thanks for the reply  :)

    Yes of course, remember though:

    1. Totally separate benefits. 
    2. Totally separate eligibility and assessment criteria. 
    3. The work capability assessment is wholly different to the PiP assessment, so you will need to go through two.
