Benefits

There is clear evidence that living with a sight problem brings a range of additional costs. These can include adaptations to the home and domestic appliances, additional costs for food and heat, costs of support for cleaning and gardening, and the high cost of access technology and training for using CCTVs, computers or mobile phones.

We are campaigning for financial independence for blind and partially sighted people and a fairer benefits system to cover these additional costs.

The Hardest Hit

As disabled people face threats to benefits, cuts in services, a hostile job market and every day rising costs of living, the Hardest Hit coalition have come together to protect disabled people's rights and independence.
