    I have copd, and my wife is a carer,so i recieve benefits for this though dwp department of work and pensions, i claimed this at the age of 64 cause i was told that once you are 65 retireing age you cannot get this benefit,dont ask me why, but i believe this is so. So perhaps thats why they are not interested,to me its totaly wrong ,but there you go. Good luck with your copd

      Shirley, this isn't the sort of thing that should go on for 6 weeks without getting some medical advice.   With those symptoms I'd be at the nearest hospital emergency room ASAP.
