Well we cannot have 100% independence That's why we have DLA or PIP!

Tbh, fill form out online, thenelectronic signature via check box would work. Some banks use this method.-----Original Message-----From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf OfDerek Hornby Sent: 04 April 2014 15:37 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Filling forms in Online Yes good point I am no sure whether this can still be done but The passport office used to let people fill form in online And then it was sent via post to the customer to sign. So yes DWP could do something like that.

After all, all DWP documents can be read either online, Or use scanner.

In the name of customer service, surely it's better if someone asks you some basic questions rather than making assumptions. What proportion of blind people read Braille? A very small one is my understanding. Something like20,000 out of a couple of million people was an estimate made by RNIB someyears ago.

The National Assistance Act 1948 states that a person can be severely sight impaired if they are "so blind as to be unable to perform any work for which eye sight is essential" (National Assistance Act Section 64(1)).

I have no idea why, as I've never asked for it, can't read it and find it a nuisance that because of it my bills arrive late so that I never get a prompt payment discount. Phoning them is a long-winded and possibly expensive nightmare, though no doubt I could scratch around for an email address. It's good to know that they can produce Braille, of course, for those who want it.
