[QUOTE="Cobra3164, post: 326378, member: 50203"] Hello, I am on disability living allowance and have been now for 11 years and type 1 diabetes is on their list. With regard to claiming those who have been turned down this is not uncommon in first applications, my advice is to appeal 65% of cases that go to appeal are approved. With regard to filling in the application bear in mind that they want to know information when you are at your worst in health, not dying but how you are on a bad day so tell them that. Always include times when people or relatives have to do things for you such as reminding you of when your meds are due etc. It is true that DLA is one of the hardest benefits to get but it is not impossible they make it difficult to weed those out who are not entitled. Another thing to bear in mind that if someone is caring for you many hours of the day they may be entitled to carers allowance. If the admins approve I will do a sticky regarding DLA for information. I hope this helps answer some questions Simon aka Cobra3164 [/QUOTE]
