It depends on the symptoms rather than the diagnosis.

My daughter used to get the higher DLA as she had severe issues with her blood sugars. She now has been dropped to middle rate since she is a lot better. I would contact your local childrens centre, or Citizens advise as they can help you complete the forms.
