ESA WHEN ON pip was created by rex1962

I have been on PIP higher rate for mobility and care, i have not been on esa i don't want to fill in the form and then find it contradicts the PIP i get, i am frightened they might take it off me as some of the questions contradict what i need to answer. Is there anything to help me fill in esa50 when on pip?

Whilst we have seen PIP assessment reports used to confirm an ESA award we have not to date, seen one used to deny ESA.

Whilst there are similarities between the two Mobility requirements there are also fundamental differences, for example PIP is a walking test and ESA is a mobility test that includes the use of a wheelchair even if you do not use or even own one.

Have a look at our ESA Claim guides and if you have any specific questions then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help. See
