@Jilllam69, hello and welcome, PIP is a benefit that’s awarded on your abilities to cope, manage activities the PIP descriptors in your daily life. I would recommend you do a self test to see if you meet the criteria for applying for PIP, remember that what you put in your application form has to be justified at your face to face assessment?

Hi @Jilllamb69 and welcomeAs has been said PIP is based on how your condition affects your ability to complete the descriptor activities. Not everyone with the same condition is affected in the same way.Specific to your question, I have COPD amongst other contitions and receive PIP Daily Living and enhanced Mobility.. The effects of COPD vary greatly, from an almost invisible condition that may be thought to be like a common cold that does not go away, up to needing nebulisers, medcation, inhalers and home oxygen therapy.Take the self test and see which, if any, descriptors you match but you must fit the descriptor rather than trying to make the descriptor fit youIf you have any other questions please ask awayBe all you can be, make every day count.
