have just read the report and if I have understood it right it says indefinite award. does this mean copd sufferers should be on sickness benefit.

Hi, it depends what level of emphysema you have, I didn't retire from work until I was at the severe level (then, around 30% lung function), I'd managed fairly well until then, although I had a sedentary job and drove to and from work. Hope that helps! Libby
