    Hi @peachyness
    What a lovely friend you are! We have tons of information about PIP here and there is a PIP toolkit here.

    There is a downloadable information sheet here you could print off, but it is 39 pages long!

    PIP isn't awarded based on a diagnosis but how the conditions affect you daily. Lots of information on the internet about claiming PIP. Evidence will be needed to support a claim as they rarely contact anyone for evidence.

    If the person can't work and doesn't claim any benefits, do they live with a partner that works and that's the reason they don't claim benefits?
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
