I don't believe there is any financial help from the benefits system for C.O.P.D

I should imagine if you suffer other health issues it would be worth applying

PIP is paid out on a persons limited abilities to do normal things or you require help. So COPD can be considered depending on your needs, e.g. you cannot walk, need help dressing etc.

Yes you can apply,,, and there's no reason if it affects you in anyway in your day to day living, may be walking, or generally get out of breath in your general house chores,,,etc,, and combine with any other medical condition,,, go for it,,,its how you put it down,,ie wording it,,,
