Welfare Reform Proposals

Blind people's benefits at risk - act now!

The Government's plans to replace Disability Living Allowance (DLA) with Personal Independence Payment (PIP) will remove tens of millions of pounds from blind and partially sighted people.

The criteria for the new benefit fail to recognise that sight loss is a serious disability and that you face extensive extra costs if you can't see.

Act now to challenge this benefits shake-up that will hit blind and partially sighted people particularly hard.
