Hi, a friend has been put on ESA Support Group from 3rd February 2017 based on progressive MS plus associated medical problems. F to F assessment by doctor (much to my surprise!). I think she should apply for PIP - thoughts please. Also do you know what questions likely from DWP when she phones for form please?

It's perfectly possible to be in the ESA SG and have no entitlement to PIP, I would suggest that they have a look at the PIP Claim guide to see what they might score and if, after marking themselves harshly they think that they could receive an award, then consider an application.
