  • Personal Independence payment for recovering Addiction issues?

    Hello :-)

    This is a little more complicated than the subject.

    I am asking on behalf of my Mum.

    She is a recovering Alcoholic. She works a 12 step programme, has a sponsor, goes to meetings etc.

    Would this be considered 'therapy' in the qualifying factors for PIP?

    What makes this a little more complicated is that my mum does need extra help in working this programme, this is because she has issues with concentrating when it comes to written information. She is in the process of finding out if she perhaps has some kind of adulthood ADHD, or ADD. She has always had issues when it comes to retaining written complex information. So when it comes to reading her AA literature, I have to read it to her, and and discuss it, so that she can properly process the info.

    She can read, it's not that she is illiterate at all, it's just absorbing the information that she cannot do alone, do you think the help she needs would count toward the managing therapy/health condition section of PIP?

    Thank you :-)
