[QUOTE="candy1567, post: 94602, member: 12897"] Hi all One of my previous posts gives up todate information regarding DLA, will try to find the link but think am havin an off day!!!! Basically you can only claim DLA not for diabetes itself but for the complications that go with it ie, the mobility component can be claimed if u suffer with nerve damage in ur feet which effects ur ability to walk. The care component can be claimed if u suffer with poor eyesight and making a meal becomes difficult, there are many options here so careful filling in of the form is needed. I would advise to go to a disability right centre or CAB to fill in the form as if ur not sucessful then they will represent u at a tribunal whereas if u use the advice workers in a solicitors they dont do this. The form is very long and repetative but u must fill it in describing ur worst day, U dont need to hav anyone physically looking after u, its to give u the cash to have the same quality of life as someone who doesn't hav ur condition. Any yes i am qualified to give this info as i was a disability advisor with the CAB before becoming a social worker. [/QUOTE]
