DLA is changing to PIP , god knows why , too many people claiming it when they don't need it . Some Diabetics , or parents with children do. I have being diabetic since i was 3 yrs old my parents got 22 pence a week for me and my sister who is also diabetic. I had to appeal for my DLA as i live alone and am waiting for a Hypo Alert Dog . My Diabetes is brittle the longest period of hypogycemia was 43 hours where i was unable to move , speak, swallow and unable to control my muscles and bladder , bowel . I work part time but this helps with safety measures for me , carpeting , soft corner covers . I have a pendant but am unable to use it when my muscles won't work. So it is worth fighting for when you need it .
