On DLA applying for PIP

I am currently on DLA but have had to make the call to start the pip claim after a letter from dwp. If Iam successful in my application does that mean my Esa claim will be transferred over to universal credit. Am so confused by all of this.

Ho Jenny and Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

EAS and PIP claims are different benefits with different qualifying criteria. Nothing will happen to your ESA award as a result of being awarded PIP.

Contributory ESA will remain, claimants will not be transferred to UC. People on income related ESA will be moved eventually - but that is a long way in the future at the moment.

If you bookmark or favourite this on your web browser now you will find it easily in future. That way you will be able to return and ask further questions rather than having to start a new topic each time. It helps us enormously if everything relating to the same claim is kept in one place - and I hope you will find it helpful too

Thank you that was helpful. I got my Pip form to fill in today and I have to return it by the 15th May is it normal that they don't give you that long to return it.

Unfortunately whilst filling out my form I suffered a massive nose bleed. I phoned dwp to request a new pip form they said to allow 7-10 working days and that the clock would be reset . Although I may receive reminder letters which are automatic. Should I put in writing tmentioning the phone call I made and that they have agreed to a new form with the clock reset.
