Extension on return of an ESA50?

Enquiring for a friend as they have been hit with the change for DLA to PIP and renewal of the ESA at the same time. They have deadlines for the return of the PIP2 and ESA50 within days of one another.
The friend has multiple and complex health issues, including cognitive and memory issues, anxiety, depression, mood swings, suicidal ideation, and a plethora of other diagnoses including physical and mental health problems.
The PIP2 date has already been extended, so that doesn't help, unless DWP are likely to agree to extend this even further.

I'm afraid there is no way to get an extension to the time to complete the ESA50, even if the DWP offer one it will not be honoured.
If they are unable to complete it on time then they should return it incomplete and send the information that is missing as soon as they can to the same address. See
Sending Documents to the DWP or Maximus, ATOS or Capita
