Hi @trace69
There is a PIP self test here that might be helpful for you to fill in to see if you could be entitled to PIP.

Hello and welcome, have you done the PIP self tes?? When you do be honest with yourself as the answers you put in the application form will have to be justified at your acessment, PIP is not about your illnesses or disability but how you manage cope and how your day to day activities are impacted on in relationship to the PIP descriptors, can you do manage them repeatedly, safely and in a timely manner.

Hi,

Based on a diagnosis no you won't be. This is because it's how your conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activities based on the PIP descriptors.

Thanks I can't walk very far and do household chores etc due to my breathing problems

poppy123456 · January 2019

Household chores are not part of the PIP descriptors and not being to do these won't help a PIP claim. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/Global/Migrated_Documents/adviceguide/pip-9-table-of-activities-descriptors-and-points.pdf
