Is there any way of getting ESA to use PIP medical decision?

I received decision on 7.3.16 Enhanced mobility and Enhanced daily living yet today 15.3.16 have date of ESA medical

It seems stupid for another medical

If you are hoping it can be used to avoid an assessment then this won't happen, the criteria for ESA and PIP are too different, they may be able to use the PIP report to help them make a Decision , but you cannot rely on this happening.

If you scored points on your PIP award for areas where there are crossover to ESA then our best advice would be for you to either send the report to Maximus or hand it in as evidence when you have your assessment. If you do then you need to include a covering letter explaining how the PIP report relates to the ESA Descriptors, even where there is overlap, the criteria can still be different.
