Any way he could get the support of an advocate? Organisations, like MIND, and I am sure others, help and support with this, and will also help with challenging PIP if needed. Could it be worth finding out? Is there a COPD organisation, like Asthma UK, for instance?

Try and get the meeting voice recorded. That way the doctor should remember their oth and not that the agency are paying them. Its a dam shame they make people go though these tests. Then others can get away with milking the system who just have a small thing wrong 😢
