[QUOTE="Tracey167, post: 2094878, member: 23764"] Hi I had to change from DLA indefinite to PIP due to change of circumstances and getting a CGM. On DLA I had middle rate care and low rate Mobility. I was awarded PIP I sent in all evidence from consultants and printed off 6 months of glucose readings from my monitor as I have no hypo awareness and highlighted all the Hypos then worked out on average how many hypos a week I was having. I had to explain the CGM has helped warn me of hypos but it’s not 100% accurate as it doesn’t read the glucose in the blood it reads the fluid under the skin which can be a couple of mmol’s different. You have to explain to them how your condition effects you as long as you send evidence to back up what you are saying. I got enhanced rate mobility and no care which I though was strange but I don’t know if they were also taking into account my frozen shoulder which I only had 40% movement but now my other shoulder is also frozen so got to sort physio etc... for that one as well now.
