Asthma, pneumonia and over 20 other conditions affecting the lungs and respiratory system are supported by PIP and ADP.
The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions show that at the end of July, some 138,376 people were receiving Personal Independence Payments to help with a respiratory condition. That figure also includes 5,101 people living in Scotland whose existing PIP claim has still to be transferred to Adult Disability Payment .
The statistics from the charity also show that approximately 160,000 people across the country are diagnosed with asthma every year and that roughly 250,000 adults and children are living with severe asthma. The health professional will then write a report for the PIP decision maker who will use all the evidence and decide whether you are entitled to the benefit, at what rate and for how long. PIP is made up of two parts, the daily living component and the mobility component. Each component can be paid at either the standard rate or the enhanced rate.
In addition to what we have outlined above if you get or need help with any of the following because of your condition, you should consider applying for PIP or ADP.DWP or Social Security Scotland will assess how difficult you find daily living and mobility tasks. For each task they will look at:
