Hi,
As far as I know, it is possible to be severely disabled but still able to undertake employment.
They are two distinctly separate awards, with no connection to each other.
Mike.

pip and esa are different benefits. many people claiming PIP work as it is about how your disability/health condition affects you, not about whether or not you are fit for work. ESA is usually reviewed on a regular basis

I receive ESA along with my PIP, but was told by DWP that everyone can be called in at any time for revue.
On my PIP I lost a year and a half of my PIP and was given less points and lost my car for the first time in 20+ years!!
My friend had an award for 10 years ( she had both legs amputated and suffers severe pain) and was called for a review which was cut to 3 years!
