DLA & diabetes
Fri 05-Nov-04 03:25 PM

Any tips on this?
I have a client with type 1 diabtes. It has respodned to medication though she has frequent mild to moderate hypos (to quote her consultant), some neuropathy in legs/feet but not a major problem for walking and her eyesight is pretty good.
Her main problems are the tiredness and fatigue that go with her condition.
She was given a nil award and we're going to appeal. I've looked at BDA site but still feel i'm missing something.
What else?
