Hi Mikeb2, I would definitely apply for PIP on his behalf. I was turned down the first time- I have found out since that most are, but asked for a mandatory reconsideration and my husband was awarded it. I spoke to Citizens advice when I was turned down and they composed a letter, e-mailed it to me for my husband to sign and for me to post. They were great. It has taken a lot of the financial worries off my shoulders. If your husband has to give up working he could apply for ESA, which pays your stamp too. He would get this until he's pension age. I also have been granted a Carers allowance, since my husband was awarded PIP, as I look after him for more than 35 hours a week. It takes a while for PIP to go through, but worth it if you get it. Always think of his worst days when answering questions about his condition. My husband is able to wash, dress and eat etc., but what I hadn't realised, until someone pointed it out to me on this forum, was how much prompting I do. If I didn't prompt him, then he wouldn't think to have a shower for instance or have something to eat. My husband hasn't had a diagnosis, he's been to the memory clinic - 4 months ago- but hasn't had the follow up appointment through yet. ? Good luck.
