IF you've got a medical condition with snoring as a symptom – you could be eligible for a benefit that's worth \u00a3173 a week.<\/p>\n

Snoring is commonly associated with being a harmless act but if yours is the result of sleep apnea you could get a cash boost.<\/p>\n

PIP is a\u00a0benefit\u00a0paid to people with long-term physical or mental health conditions of disabilities.<\/p>\n

The payment can boost your income by thousands of pounds a year, and you can be eligible whether you are in work or not.<\/p>\n
