[QUOTE="Adele99, post: 504250, member: 47601"] Unless hypos are severe , frequent and the person has little advance awareness of them, and need help to deal with them, It's unlikely they'll be a warded PIP on that 'need' alone. Easier to get an award for achild I guess. Otherwise every type 1 diabetic would be claiming and receivng it. Care needs can be needing prompts to do something like remembering to take your insulin etc, and can comprise of a few minutes care several times a day. PIP is awarded not so much on the actual diagnosis or condition but on how it affects an individual. The OP may not be able to safely take a shower or bath unattended due to postural hypotension , which can be aggravated in AN by the heat in the bathroom when having a simple shower. which is why I said they should get professional help to fill out the form.
