    Hi,

    PIP is not a means tested benefit and won't affect any other benefits, including UC. It's disregarded as savings for 52 weeks.

    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.
