Strange question.

Hi all, I’m not sure if anyone could give me an answer for this one, but if I moved out of a supported accommodation into a place of my own, can this effect my p.i.p benefit. 

My health condition hasn’t changed, but needing to move. 

I also really find I don’t get any assistance where I live.

    Hi,

    No, it won't affect your PIP. However, if you're claiming any other benefits then they maybe affected. I'd advise you to speak to your social worker, if you have one.
    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.

    You need advice before you do anything as you need to maybe sure you don’t accidentally trigger a UC claim.
    It wouldn’t trigger a claim would it because I would not being putting a claim in for UC. 

    Bit confused by your post

    I don’t have a social worker, and wouldn’t waste time and energy seeking advice from them as they have never had an answer to any of my queries.

    who should I consider contacting for advice, and what benefits could be affected?

    I would try CAB or welfare rights for advice

    That will depend on what other benefits you claim, and what PIP award you have.
