Claiming PPI having made a claim on the policy

A friend has been paying PPI for the last 10 years on her mortgage to cover her for sickness and redundancy.(Genuinely believing she had to have this)
She was made redundant after Xmas and made a claim on the policy although that has still not been settled and is causing considerable hardship keeping up her mortgage payments.
Can she still make a claim for mis-selling having made this claim?
Thanks.

    Doesnt sound mis-sold at all. So it sounds like she is eligible for it and has a need for it, so its suitable.

    Many people have as they do have a need for it.
    She was made redundant after Xmas and made a claim on the policy although that has still not been settled and is causing considerable hardship keeping up her mortgage payments.

    So, it is quite clear she does have a financial need for it.
    Can she still make a claim for mis-selling having made this claim?

    Why would she want to do that? You havent given any indication of mis-sale. Its now needed for a claim. So, asking them the seller (who may not have even been regulated at the time) to void the policy could be a very foolish thing to do.

    If you/she sends in a miss sale complaint, they might just agree with you and void the policy.

    Food for thought.
