I want to move a radiator which is fixed to a stud wall, this will
mean re-routing pipes. Before started to lift the chipboard floor I
checked the stud wall and found that it is on the chipboard floor and
between joists. Some of the chipboard sheet runs into the next room so
if I cut the board part of the stud will lie over an unsupported
chipboard sheet.

Has anyone come across this situation before and what's the best way
to handle it.

Many Thanks

2 options
1 - lift the chip, insert noggins
2 - build the wall on top of the chipfloor. This works fine in
practice.

Are you sure that there aren't any noggins between the joists to support
the wall? If there *are*, they will also provide some support for the
cut chipboard.

I haven't lifted any chipboard yet. I'll probably lift one of the
smaller end pieces and have a look underneath. Maybe they did put in
the noggins to suport the wall.

Don't be too disappointed if you find they haven't. A lot of British
homes are put up on price-work by speculator who don't know any
better.
Just content yourself with the idea you are not alone.
