I have been registered disabled for about 7 years with COPD, Back injuries from sports, and a heart condition. I am semi housebound, in a wheelchair and also can get about on a mobility scooter. As you'd hope for I receive benefits, full ESA and PIP (Consider myself lucky there). I am a few days away from being 65 so soon I will be on State Pension... a major life change, If I can help anyone else I will always do so happily and I guess sometimes I need help myself, especially as I run into problems from my disability and living alone.
