Closed "DLA for all children with type 1 diabetes until they are 16"

Closed on

All children that have Type 1 diabetes (don't produce any insulin) should receive DLA until they are 16.

Children of all ages receive constant care and support from us the parents, 24/7, every day, every night and this doesn't stop at 11 not even 15! Vulnerable years where teens don't inject, don't test blood sugars, don't carb count.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child defines a child as "a human being below the age of 18 years'' so we are ALL entitled to DLA.
