Hi @dignifieddoll and thank you for coming to the community about this, it is very kind of you to help your neighbour. It may be worth getting them to call the helpline on 0808 800 3333. Or you could have a look at the benefit calculator on the Scope website. I wish you the very best of luck and do let us know if there is anything else we can do to help
