My wife (who manages her asthma with steroidal inhaler - the pink one and the brown one, fnarrrr etc) was told by our GP that she isn't considered high risk so isn't any higher in the vaccine queue than her age would suggest. GP said that "severe" asthma doesn't automatically put you in a higher risk bracket, but they do look at patients who have not been able to manage their asthma - so number of trips to the doctor/hospital. We will both sit tight and wait for our jabs, as and when we can have them

I read/heard somewhere that the key item to bump you up the list was "hospitalised due to asthma", on which I would possibly qualify having had that once in my life (albeit more than 30 years ago, and before my asthma cleared up and I smoked 20+/day for more than 10 years, etc, etc).
As I've said before, I don't need early access to the vaccine, there are millions of people my age or younger who deserve/need the vaccine before I should eventually get it.

Might be the same for me too. My childhood asthma disappeared at 15, so it depends whether my medical records have survived and whether that part ever made it to my digital medical record.
50 year old sister-in-law (no underlying conditions) just got her invite to go for a jab in Merton.
