Hi not sure if you will advise but il ask anyways I awarded pip today with 37 points but they will not pay the daily living component as the last place I worked was the republic of Ireland and I get my sick money from there there equivalent to the esa. Pip told me over the phone that daily living component is not a disability payment it is a sick benefit and I can't claim both but people claiming esa can claim both it's bit confusing not sure who could advise on it

This is an issue of you being resident and attached to the UK benefit system, have a look at page 5 of the PIP Claim guide, which also has contacts for disputing the Decision.
