It’s based on the effect your condition has on your life not on diagnosis. What everyday tasks do you struggle with or need assistance with, eg getting around, heating a meal, making a drink etc.

Indeed, @Lucyr, the forms when you apply for PIP do not even ask for your diagnosis. Nobody who has just Type 2 diagnosis has ever got PIP, because that would mean around 4% of the population of the UK would be on PIP.

As it happens, I do get PIP because of my mobility problems, but that is not caused by my diabetes.
