[QUOTE="leahkian, post: 1606967, member: 32193"] The only way you will find out is when you are 16. I have had DLA and PIP but the rules change when they renamed it you could qualify for DLA as a hypo is classed as a fit or seizure, before anyone say you cannot I had a medical with Atos and you needed 15 points to get it. I got no point even though my diabetes was hard to control, i was on the transplant list and also had mental health problems. So i appealed and welfare rights came with me, there was a doctor and a judge and welfare rights explained the hypos and the doctor said he could no understand why i was there. I was there because Atos got £500 for everyone the signed off but that many people appeeled and won there case that it cost more than if they had not done it. Now for PIP whichis being run buy Atos but a different department, you can get it and you do not have to have 24 hour care I have had my transplant but still get PIP as my diabetic problems have got worse since the transplant with numbness in both hands and legs, i am also in constant pain due to all my nerves are damage and when the did the transplant they cut away some of the nerves away from my bladder which can hold 8 pints of fluid so i have to use a catheter and there is damage to my bowel. As this has happened my mental health has become worse. When you get a PIP person to come and see you they can be anyone who has worked in medical role, when i got mine i was lucky i got a mental health worker and she took her time to read through evert letter that a consultant had sent. The bad news is after the DLA trouble the goverment cut funding to welfare rights so it is hard for anyone to get one. but dont worry i am sure Mrs May is trying to kill us off by under funding the NHS as they can afford private health care. So if you aplply for PIP you have to put every answer as if it was your worst day [/QUOTE]
