[QUOTE="jopar, post: 274631, member: 11712"] If you are being treated by the consultant at the hospital for your CP/diabetes you could have put them down in your claim, as well as your GP... If they refuse DLA, appeal and include your consultants details... Also enlist the help of CAB, they are good at helping to fill out DLA's forms, and you stand a greater chance of being successful the first time with their help.... Both Bayetta and Victoza suppress the appetite, as to the CP, I know that there are concerns that using either of these that it increases the risk of CP and also apparently newer concerns are with Victoza might increase the risk of pancreatic cancer! But not sure what happens if you've already got CP, perhaps here it's a case of if nothing else is working, then running the risks of using it, outweighs the risk of not! But your DSN can't prescribe it without running past the consultant so should get plenty of time to ask questions about it.. I think you find because Bayetta and Victoza can induce a hypo that you do need to notify the DVLA etc, but give them a phone they soon let you know if you do or don't... [/QUOTE]
