answer text <p>We have no plans to do so. Entitlement to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is based on the effects of disability on a person's life and not on any particular or specific disability, illness or treatment received. The PIP assessment is designed to treat all health conditions and impairments fairly, including for those with renal or kidney disease.
