                    Hi, I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis last year, this condition makes it difficult to keep working, just wandering if I can claim PIP or anything else.

            Hi there @degs58 and welcome to the community!
I'm sorry to hear working is difficult for you now. PIP isn't based on diagnosis, it's about showing how any illness impacts your daily life. We have a lot of info on it here. There's also a good benefits calculator which can help you work out what you're entitled to. Hope that helps.

Tell that to people today, and they just don't believe you.
