it is another inequality in provision we have to deal with Eleanor. this is
why the RNIB put their prices of canes up some years ago to prompt social
services into purchasing them for their blind citizens.

Our Social Services will supply the first cane and a tip of your choice but
all subsequent canes you buy yourself. A lack of finds was the reason and
no-one of my acquaintance here has had a cane from them for around 6 years.

I think social services would supply you Andy. GDBA supplied me between 1st
and 2nd guide dog.

Hi all -
Since choosing no longer to be a guide dog owner, the GDBA have supplied me
with a long cane [Revolution with roller tip], but now that I need a new
tip, they say I have to fund my own, or try social services.
I've just looked at the RNIB website, under long canes, and can see my
Revolution cane listed. Firstly, I assume I would be charged the VAT free
price? and secondly, can somebody tell me about the different tips for this
cane? I can't quite figure out the advantages of one over another, like I
say, I have been using the roller tip, which seems to have good durability
for street work, what are the pros and cons of the other tips over the
roller tip?
Thanks for any help -
Andy
