Have you tried applying PIP? I get the enhanced rate on both mobility and Care needs but it all depends on how the illness affects you how much help you need from others and how far you can walk without stopping for a rest or needing to use an inhaler

But most of the time people fail to write a full description in detail to each question of Pip forms even about cooking the heat and fumes how they can effect etc , walking again describe in full detail

The ESA medicals are very simplistic and biased towards failing people. However, there is an appeals procedure and you should use that as many times as they allow.

Not what you're looking for?
