[QUOTE="Tracey167, post: 1140563, member: 23764"] Hi My daughter now 13yrs was getting dla for 2 years then had to re-apply before her 13th birthday and was refused even though nothing had changed. Asked for a re- consideration which was also turned down so went to appeal and to be honest I couldn't believe the people we were dealing with the doctor couldn't read properly and the dwp representative had to be told 3 times to continue reading the diary we done you have to turn the page even the judge had to tell her to turn the page. We was refused again even with loads of evidence. They seem to think when a child turns 13 they can be responsible for changing needles, insulin cartridges, weighing there food and working out there insulin ratio even if they could they still need supervision insulin is a dangerous drug. Plus she needs supervision while out cos if she went hypo she would become confused and not know where she is. Sometimes she has no hypo awareness. I just don't think they understand diabetes. I'm not giving up they are doing so many cut backs that there's people who need it who have to fight to get it. [/QUOTE]
