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.

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?

Sorry to hear about your friend whom you tried to help so much @berry123 - your PIP assessment will still go ahead most likely by phone despite the lockdown.
