[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2422165, member: 451727"] You could apply and see? As others have said, you won't get it simply because you have type 1 diabetes (or any other type) or indeed any other medical condition. What they assess is how the condition affects you on a day to day basis. For example, (and these are some of the questions), Can you get up the stairs by yourself/can you cook food for yourself/How long can you stand up for/Do you need help leaving the house, and on and on. I acted as a friend for a person applying (non diabetic) and I have to agree it was a horrible, degrading process. We are all different albeit we may share a condition, are you finding it is disabling you to a large extent where you have great difficulty doing basic tasks?, if so get your GP/Diabetes team on board, their evidence will be crucial.
