Unsure about potential entitlement for UC. Age 65 was created by Mum of two.

Having looked on a couple of benefits calculators the results have been varying even though my data input has been consistent.
Just curious to know that as in receipt of enhanced pip for daily living and mobility I wouldn't be referred for a wca.
My understanding (hopefully) is that I'm eligible for UC which will include housing benefits etc.
Is this correct.
Thank you.

Hi Mum of two

The WCA stands for Work Capability Assessment and has no relationship to PIP. In fact many people in receipt of PIP are working. If you have enhanced PIP and claim UC then you will face a WCA if you have never had one. There are some exemptions to do with life threatening illness.
