Asthma sufferers or those with other respiratory conditions could be owed as much as £152-a-week from the government. Those with respiratory problems that affect their everyday life are being encouraged to look into Personal Independence Payments (PIP).
PIP is paid every four weeks and can amounts to between £97.80 and £627.60 every payment period. Recent figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) found that nearly 2.9 million people across the UK were claiming support through PIP at the end of January 2022.
This data also found just over one in three claimants (35%) receiving the highest level of award. The new data also indicates an increase in the number of people now receiving support for 24 types of respiratory conditions including asthma, Cystic Fibrosis, Sleep apnoea, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and pneumonia.
