Condense pipe frozen?

[Murdoch]

My mother in laws boiler has packed up ... A friend of hers has suggested that the condense pipe might be frozen.

Would this stop the boiler working? And if this is the case how can it be prevented in the future as she is in her 80's

Thanks

Yes this would stop the boiler as condensated water would back up into heat exchanger
