Is it okay to screed over chipboard and then apply tiles as a finish on a floor?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

The chipboard would brake up when it got wet . Best to tile over chipboard or best to take chipboard up then lay screed

Simply put, no.
Remove the chipboard before laying a screed. Additionally, I wouldn't ever lay tile directly onto chipboard because of the movement with temperature changes that would likely cause the tiles to crack.
