link to individual illness and assessment

[battytroll]

pleased to give this link to this forum, it gives all illnessess and what and how decision makers are supposed to assess medical benefit applications. these apply to p.i.p and dla and esa.

dwp.gov.uk/publications/spe...

hope this is some help to folks

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
