Yes I have it along with Asthma. I explained on the claim form all about the impact that particular issue causes. The assessor cured me, she reported that as I was not receiving specialist treatment for either and that my breathing seemed normal whilst seated they disregarded it as a minor issue. The MR agreed.
Mind you she asked me to give a couple of breath pressure samples. Put the tube between my lips correctly as taught by the asthma nurse and blew a 240 and a 260. Both readings similar to the ones at the GP's surgery.The report said that the low readings were because I did not hold the tube correctly and was trying to sabotage the test.

Thats awful ! Did you say how it affects your daily life ?

Of course I did. But if the assessor is of the opinion that the conditions are not as severe as I made out, the impact claimed must be overstated.

Was it the assessor that said this or was it the descison maker ? X
