Well she can apply and then fill in the form if she applies to any of it.

@ChloeHibbert your mum's friend might find this website helpful https://pipinfo.net/ it has a questionnaire you can fill in to get some idea of whether you're likely to qualify or not.

Hi @ChloeHibbert
Just to add an additional resource, Citizens Advice have also published general guidelines about who is eligible for PIP, which you might want to send to your Mum's friend. -
Hi,If she's under state pension age then there's nothing stopping her from applying. It's not means tested so other household income will make no difference.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.

Hi @ChloeHibbert It is always worth looking at the descriptors and how the applicant would score against them before deciding if to apply or not.
If mobility is affected and other aspects of daily living then there is no reason why not to apply
