    Hi @jamiebain89 :) Welcome to the community! 

    You don't have to have a diagnosis to post here, so don't worry.

    Are you wondering whether you need to inform the DWP about your COPD? Or is your comment more about going through treatment for COPD itself?

    As advised, PIP isn't about a diagnosis. If you've already got a PIP award then you won't need to report anything unless you can score more points for a higher award and before doing anything you should get some expert advice. You should also be aware that you need to have had a worsening of condition for at least 3 months otherwise it won't be taken into consideration.
