    Hi,

    Eventually yes you would need an assessment, most people have face to face assessments for ESA the same as they do for PIP. No it won't affect your PIP.


    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
