Hi @berry123 - PIP is about functional problems you have with certain activities of daily living &/mobility; it's not based on any diagnoses. Therefore it will depend on how his disabilities impact on these.PIP is not means based, & will not affect his ESA. Most people do have an assessment, currently done by phone. Hope this helps your friend.0

That must be hard, especially as you spoke so often @berry123, but I'm sure you must have lots of lovely memories of chatting together. Do you have other friends you can lean on?0

I'm glad you have loads of friends, and friends that will be able to understand what you're going through as they knew him too @berry123. I'm sure your kids must help you to get through the hard times too. Are you able to keep in touch with your friends okay during lockdowns?0
