People who have asthma have been urged to check if they are eligible for money from the UK Government.
Anybody living with respiratory problems that affect their day-to-day lives may qualify for £128 a week from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
New research from the DWP has revealed a rise in the number of people claiming the benefit for respiratory conditions such as asthma, Cystic Fibrosis, Sleep apnoea, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and pneumonia.
