Everyone with asthma urged to check if they're owed £152 each week

Anyone suffering with asthma or other respiratory conditions is being urged to check if they're owed money from the government. If you have respiratory problems that affect your everyday life, you could be eligible for £152 a week.

Recent figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that at the end of January this year, there were nearly 2.9 million people across the UK claiming support through Personal Independence Payments (PIP), with just over one in three claimants (35%) receiving the highest level of award.

PIP is paid every four weeks so and can amounts to between £97.80 and £627.60 every payment period.
