sleep apnea was created by watson67

Can anyone help, i have sleep apnea and have recently read that you can claim PIP for this ?
after reading a news article that over 1500 people in GB are currently receiving this benefit.
as a full time carer i do not know where to go?

PIP is not awarded for specific conditions but rather the limitations that result in regard to a range of activities specified by the DWP.

Have a look at our PIP Claim guide on the "Guides" link at the top of the page.
