Hi There manutd
Welcome to the forum.
Benefits are awarded depending on how the COPD affects your personal care and/or mobility as opposed to being diagnosed with a condition.
We are here now to discuss this with you if you would like to give us a call on 03000 030 555.
Cheers
Jo
I was originally told that I couldn't claim any benefits as I could dress myself and make a meal. It wasn't until I went into hospital about a lung transplant that the social worker thought I should be claiming and completed the forms for me. I now receive D.L.A. Evidently although I can do all these things it is the time it takes to do them. Hope this is some help. Susie Q
