Thanks for all the replies. Guessed this was miss leading. 

 No what are the issues? There are different requirements for different disability benefits but they relate to how the disabilities effect your daily life and/or your ability to work not just that you gave said condition / disability 

 So if there are issues that affect your life you might be able to claim.

And if the CPAP machine is doing its job then there is no impact on daily life or work. In fact you will actually be better as you will not be so tired during the day as you should now be getting the correct type of sleep thanks to the CPAP machine.

That's how it works for me.

I would also suggest registering as a priority customer with your electricity supplier. 

Good point! people usually say they feel so much better on CPAP!

 My hubby doesn't he still tired etc plus  struggles with it. But didn't the OP say they had diabetes too?

As I said, it all depends whether the health conditions affect his ability to do the activities which are assessed, for PIP, or maybe UC Limited Capacity for Work test.
