Pip and UC

Options
My son is on low level PIP and Universal credit, I think the figures are Universal credit £272 per month and UC virtually the same £272.

Is there anything else he can claim for, hhe suffers from M.A.D.D. which is mixed anxiety and depressive disorders

    It sounds as though he is only getting the basic standard element of UC. Is he submitting sick notes to UC? If he is submitting sick notes then he should have a work capability assessment through UC and if found not fit for any kind of work or work related activity ( LCWRA) , then he would get an a extra amount of money on his UC claim.

    He should be on UC £311.68 (if single and under 25) 
    The is no low level PIP - it is standard and enhanced (Standard daily living is £72.65 and standard mobility is £28.70 a week)

    For anyone to fully asssit you please go back check what benefits he is claiming and add further information, eg is he living with you, his age (approx) ect…

    To be honest with the little info provide I would say no, there may be additional elements he may claim on his UC but impossible to say.

    Is this the same son you posted about at the start of the year? In that thread you were advised about fit notes? Did ever report his health condition and provide fit notes?
