Hi Davey

I receive pip for my asthma so it may be worth applying.it does affect my day to day ability and I can’t work full time as I don’t feel well enough days of the week.

Thank you. At the moment I’m on the sick from work I had a severe asthma attack in December was admitted to hospital and was there for a week, I’m having a really slow recovery, I’m realising that all attacks are taking longer to get over. I’ve been diagnosed with severe eosinophilic asthma and allergies

Hi,

Sorry you're going through this. Aren't you entitled to sick pay from work. I get 20 weeks sick pay a year from work. When that runs out I get Statutory Sick Pay (SSP), but I don't know how long that lasts! Hope you get it sorted soon!
