Any report from their ESA claim would only have been used to support a Decision to award PIP, the primary Decision would have still been based on their form and evidence, whatever the DWP might say.
Whilst it is a positive thing when reports from other benefits are used to make an award, we also have to remember that if the reverse was allowed, which I stress it is not, then a lot of people would likely be denied benefits.

Just to confirm this, the dwp are allowed to use esa report as evidence in a pip claim for awarding purposes only (as they seem to be saying with me there is 0 evidence, despite the fact my esa claim is virtually a perfect pip evidence base)

They can but they don't have to as there is only limited overlap between the two benefits, it's not really possible to estimate how often this is done from what we see on the forum, but the usage is quite rare.

Hi Gordon
PIP did use the report from my ESA for my pip application, the lady at pip told me when I asked for the address to send further information, my result was good as told previously.
