People with type 1 diabetes should be entitled to personal Independance payment
I want government and parliament to accept that diabetes is a disability and it does affect daily living and these pele should be entitled to personal independence payment
I as a type 1 diabetic have been refused personal Independance payment 3 times now because it doesn’t affect my daily living. Diabetes is a silent disability and it affects my daily living everyday. I want the government and parliament to look into why this is being refused and this should be accepted even if it is the lowest rate payable.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Personal Independence Payment is paid to people who have a health condition or disability which causes difficulties with daily living or getting around. PIP is paid based on the difficulties causes by a health condition or disability. If diabetes causes difficulties with daily living or getting around a sufferer could claim for PIP in the same way as someone with another health condition or disability.
