jacquiel said:The DLA is because they need more care than a child of the same age without the condition would need. This includes nightime, and also it doesnt have to be the parent that gives them the care in the day (this is where carers allowance would come in as a separate issue) - if they need 'keeping an eye on' if showing possible hypo symptoms etc, treating for being hypo and monitoring their recovery afterwards, the pe teacher having to be more aware, - it all counts.
We (luckily) didnt have to appeal at 16 - it just got awarded. Mind you our diabetic nurse gave us ideas years ago about how to word the form to get best results (telling the truth but going into great detail basically)
