Hi Doreen,
I have merged your query with the previous topic relating to your PIP as we ask members to keep everything relating to the same claim in one topic.
Something is classed as an aid if it helps you to fulfill a descriptor that you would not otherwise be able to do. On this basis, I don't think your nebuliser - full size or portable - will class as such.
However, we take the attitude that you have nothing to lose by making your argument - at worst it will be discounted, at best you might score extra points.
Please reply to this when you have further questions or comments about your PIP and we will do our best to help. You will find it easily in future if you bookmark/favourite it on your web browser now. Alternatively, if you click on your username (in blue when you are logged into the forum) it will bring up a list of all your previous messages
