[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1919506, member: 345386"] Ickihun, I cannot think for a millisecond anyone struggling to pay for their meter and strips would qualify for PIP, on that basis. If I think what I understand the process to be, the potential claimant would fill in a form, then ask their GP to sign it off, then send it off. If the GP doesn't have to sign it before it goes off, they have to agree it at some stage? I don't see a GP getting involved in this at all. If the GP thought testing was necessary, he/she'd prescribe the required supplies. If they don't believe the person needs to test, I can't see how he/she could possibly support and application for benefits, to supposedly pay for it. If I'm way off on my vision of the application process, I apologise. I'm fortunate never to have made any such application. Edited to correct a typo and clarify my opening statement regarding PIP qualification. [/QUOTE]
