New data indicates that people with respiratory conditions could be earning up to £156 each week from Personal Independence Payments (PIP).
The government's Personal Independence Payment is available to Brits with disabilities or long-term health conditions. The payment is worth between £24.25 and £156.90 per week and is paid every four weeks, meaning it is worth up to £627.60 per month.
Nearly three million people across the country are entitled to the payment, but some may not realise they qualify. You can access the benefit if you have a number of medical conditions including asthma, Cystic Fibrosis, Sleep apnoea, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and pneumonia.
