Benefits advice from RNIB
If you or someone you know has a serious sight problem, our Helpline can advise about entitlements to benefits and concessions. For example:
-
we give information and advice to blind and partially sighted people, relatives, carers and representatives about all the main welfare benefits and concessions available
-
we provide information factsheets about welfare benefits.
We provide advocacy and representation in a limited number of cases, or can tell you about local advice services.
If you disagree with the amount of benefit you receive, you can appeal. Find out more about benefits appeals.
If you have any welfare rights enquiries, or would like to request any of the factsheets in large print or alternative formats, please call our Helpline on 0303 123 9999 or email helpline@rnib.org.uk.
