Hello, I am on the verge of going into a homeless hostel, i claim PIP both components and was wondering does being in the hostel effect my claim or make me likely to lose my claim? I have been told that housing benefit will cover most of my service charge there with me covering for the short fall.

Hi Oreobiscuit

Your PIp should not be affected because you are in the homeless hostel. If you need any advice on this try and find a specialist welfare advisor in your area advicelocal.uk/

Thank you for the response.

Do you know if this will likely trigger a re-assessment?

Hi Oreobiscuit

A change of address won't trigger a PIP assessment.

Okay thanks for the reply, will it trigger a reassessment of my ESA support or is this the same as PIP?

Hi Oreobiscuit

Moving address for ESA will not trigger a new assessment.
