Hi. I claim ESA and PIP in England so will I be able to claim for the same when I move to WALES?

Thanks.

    If you claim housing benefit then this could be classed as change of circumstances and prompt a move to Universal credit. All areas are now a full UC area as from middle of December 2018 so you may not be able to make a new claim for housing benefit when you move. If so then your ESA will move to UC but your PIP won't be affected. PIP will just be a change of address.

    Do you claim severe disability premium in with your ESA? If you do then when are you moving house?
