Hi, my adult daughter has applied for PIP having been diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety. She’s not heard anything back yet but we understand it does take some time. She did want a part time job but mentally doesn’t seem ready.
Are there any other benefits she/we could claim? This is new to us all. I work part time as does her dad.
Any advice welcome, thank you

If she has no or little income she can claim Universal Credit. She should get a Fit Note from her GP saying she is unfit for work and can then be referred for a Work Capability Assessment which could, in due course, increase her entitlement.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
