Christopher says:
"not only am I blind, I'm also moderately deaf and also suffer from
mixed type cerebral palsy."
just to be clear, nobody has said that those that are blind with
other disabilities, should not receive the mobility allowance.
The issue is that some people (including RNIB) are campaigning for the
mobility allowance higher rate, for those that are *only* blind visually
impaired.
It's this campaign that is flawed, and needs to be binned.
It creates the impression that if one is *only* blind, one can't get out
and about easily, unless one uses a taxi.
There is *always* the option for mobility training.

Derek
