[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1606750, member: 17713"] Have you got any other illnesss besides T1D?? PIP stands for Personal Independence Payment and is a benefit to enable those that suffer from significant impaired health to gain some independence not because you have a specific illness such as T1D. The forms ask about your ability to put a pen in an upper coat pocket with a hand or are you able to prepare yourself a meal etc.. its not based upon giving injections for the rest of your life. If you have significant other illnesses that impact upon your independence then you may be entitled to something but it is very, very rarely for life. Even people with terminal cancer can have to jump through hoops to gain PIP. [/QUOTE]
