The form is different for adults than children.You can fill in the form for him and if he is not capable of dealing with the claim himself you can get power of attorney by someone coming to see you and your son signing over to you, though I doubt they would do that for diabetes it's more for mental abilityHope that helps <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
