It is not the diagnosis that qualifies someone for PIP, it is the limitations caused by that condition. Two people with type 1 DM will have very different care and mobility needs.

Don't forget that it is entirely possible for people to be on high rate DLA/PIP and work full time, so this will not have a deleterious effect on your claim.

I suggest that you have a look at our PIP self-test, score yourself harshly and see whether it looks as if you might be eligible.

If you decide to go ahead I suggest you use our PIP guide every step of the way.
