Hi and welcome to the community
Did you go to tribunal with your claim
I would suggest you get some advice from welfare rights
It may be worth reapplying but that depends on how you meet the descriptors and how we you present your case in your application form and assessment -
Hi @juneann,
Welcome to Scope's forum. It is great to see that you have joined us. It sounds frustrating that additional diagnoses meant that your personal independence payment was stopped. Not least because additional diagnoses do not remove pre-existing diagnoses. According to Citizen's Advice, "what you can do depends on why the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) stopped or reduced your PIP. If you're not sure, you can: check any letters the DWP have sent you - they should explain what has happened and call the PIP enquiry line and ask them to explain". You can find further information at https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/pip-changes-and-reviews/if-your-pip-is-stopped-or-reduced/. However, if you have any other questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to re-contact usCommunity Volunteer Adviser with professional knowledge of education, special educational needs and disabilities and EHCP's.

Many older people are now being told they have "early onset diabetes", the thing with diabetes is that you either have it or you don't, and once you have it you always have it.
Also PIP isn't awarded for a medical condition or an illness but for how your daily living and/or mobility are affected.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡 -
I thought it was possible to reverse diabetes in certain cases?
I just had a google and it’s type 2 diabetes that can go in remission or partial remission. -
It is possible to reverse early onset type 2 diabetes from what I am aware in some cases
If you lose weight and follow a healthy diet reducing carbs and sugar intake
Speak to your diabetes nurse who can advise best how to manage and control your diabetes
