[QUOTE="azure, post: 907478, member: 39639"] I've never heard of that either, Dublin Girl ( not that I'm in any way a benefits expert, but my job did involve a little knowledge of benefits). Because your son is under 18 it may be that you can possibly get some benefit as you may count as caring for him in these first few months eg if he had a hypo at night. But it wouldn't be automatic. You'd have to apply and see if you/he qualified. The CAB can help with benefits issues and can advise on filling out forms. You could ring and see if they can help you. You mentioned an "initial outlay". Can I ask what you mean there? Have you had extra expenses due to your son's diagnosis? [/QUOTE]
