Hi everyone,
This is my first post which relates to a friend who has recently been diagnosed with Binswanger dementia. My concern is that I’m not all that sure that she is being given the best advice or support on a number of things.
One matter which is pressing is the benefits that she should be receiving. She has been given an appointment with Jobcentreplus which will be this Wednesday 21 August to put her on Universal Credit.
My question is should she be having an appointment at the Jobcentreplus for UC when considering her diagnosis? She has just been medically retired from work so I would have thought that the New Style ESA would be the most likely benefit to claim for? Also should she be entitled to PIP as well?
Any advice from the community would be much appreciated.
Regards
Sean
