She will be fine doing work as long as it isn’t too physically demanding. An office job, a checkout operator or something along those lines will cause her no harm and she will get the satisfaction of actually earning her own money. High Blood Pressure isn’t normally classed as a disability in terms of work, its more something that she should discuss with her doctor and see if he/she feels there will be any limitations. Normally there are pills to correct this.

It depends, how high is her blood pressure? Can she get medication for it?

She doesn’t need to get any free money. She needs to work for a living like the rest of us do. What she does need is for her doctor to treat her depression and her high blood pressure, then she can do anything anyone else can do.

Try to go to the health department or a free clinic in your area. There are several medications I prescribe to patients with high blood pressure that cost only 5-10 dollars a month at walmart and target pharmacies. Your friend should help his mom. I understand depression is debilitating but she needs to get back to work.
