Hi guys, i am just wondering if anyone claims DLA/PIP? Or has anyone ever had it and had it removed?

Not normally just given to an adult with just diabetes...

You need to have mobility or attendance needs or both to qualify. Diabetes on it's own isn't an automatic qualifying condition!

Assuming you're aged between 16 and 65, you'd only be able to claim PIP, which has replaced DLA for new claimants of "working age". You'd need to show that you have problems with some of 10 daily living activies and / or problems with making a journey / mobility. It's very unlikely that and adult with simple type 1 diabetes, in the absence of complications, severe hypo unawarenes etc could qualify for any award of PIP.
