People with potentially life threatening breathing and airway obstruction illnesses, such as chronic asthma (chest area), Vocal cord palsy (upper airway)do not come under government guidelines for Disability Living Allowance, despite the severity of these being breathing illnesses and permanant airway obstruction illnesses. I was born with Vocal Cord Paralysis ( narrow airway breathing illness.) and have a tracheostomy and have been advised not to egsaserbate the illness. I felt that applying for a free public travel pass and Disability Living Allowance would naturally help in not to make the illness worse. However I was turned down on both of these, as I did \'not come under government guidelines.\' Please help support people with severe breathing illness by signing this petition. Why should people with severe illness not be entitled to the assistance they need If more information is desired before signing this petition email- [email protected]

this is absolutely ridiculous. how can they just ignore people who literally cant breathe properly? it shouldnt be a fight just to get basic help.

My brother has asthma and struggles every day. Govt needs to wake up and start listening to the reality of these conditions instead of just looking at paperwork.
