You need to be talking to RNIB as per last night's In Touch programme.
It
would appear that RNIB is taking the government to court re this very
issue
of accessable formats. I would do the following, listen to the programme
and then contact RNIB tomorrow.

Subject: [access-uk] DLA Entitlement Letter availability digitally.
Hello all,
Does anybody know if there is a way to receive a copy of one's DLA
entitlement letter digitally? e.g. through direct.gov or gov.uk or
something
like that? The DWP seem extremely reluctant to send a copy digitally even
through encrypted email (I'm not talking about simple SSL or such, I'm
talking advanced encryption where only sender-receiver can access the
contents of the email, ignore that if you don't know what I'm talking
about,
I don't want to baffle everybody with a long essay of how there are
better
ways of encrypting emails).
It's a royal pain in the backside to have to wait 2 weeks for a DLA
entitlement letter every 3 months when a certain company likes to see one
that is recent and I've been lucky to arrange a lot of online
communications
with certain companies to do this.
It seems rather backwards for the Government to go so-called digital with
Gov.uk and such and not even communicate digitally with those who find it
much easier and more efficient to access their own information that way.
It's all very well filling in forms online and such, but it would be nice
to
get our proof letter copies online somehow.
Anyway, I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to go about this,
especially
if anyone has managed to do this.
