[QUOTE="pplprincess5480, post: 250837, member: 26766"] Hi, my daughter Lottie is 5 and was diagnosed T1 almost 2 years ago. We get the middle rate of the care element of DLA and have done from 3 months after Lottie's diagnosis. I filled in the forms myself and had no problems with the claim. I did include a care diary for a weeks worth of care. It included everything that we did to care for Lottie and how long it took. I left it up to them to decide what was care that was extra to that of a 'normal' child. I also claim Carers Allowance as I would be unable to commit to any work at the moment with Lottie's diabetes being so variable and unpredictable. If you are claiming DLA for your child and not working because of the care your child needs then you claim. I included the same care diary in this claim too. [/QUOTE]
