Hi Cathie and senn now you do not have to have a carer as such its just your sister or brother or nephew neices or husband or cousins acting as a carer for you. Now do you understand? When you fill form in they ask you for your address phone number and your disability which is blindness so yes anybody can go as your carers. Just popped in on here for few minutes don't want my emails to build up again in the hundreds hahahahahaha When filled form in it normally takes fortnight for your cinema pass to come little plastic card ideal you go in cinema free every time you go to one Fantastic mine is in my purse worth having one isn't it? so go on go for it If you do not have anybody to take you then its no point in you getting cinema pass. so hope that helps Love Carol x.x.x.x.
