Benefits for families and carers

In this section you can find out about the different benefits and concessions that you may be able to claim if you are:

  • the parent or guardian of a blind or partially sighted child
  • caring for someone with sight loss
  • blind or partially sighted yourself and caring for someone.

We also look at Tax Credits. You may be entitled to these if you are on a low income: Working Tax Credit if you work, or Child Tax Credit if you have dependent children, or both.
