Benefits Rights Information Service

The aim of the service is to facilitate access to benefits for the blind and partially sighted people ensuring their full take up of statutory entitlements.

As from the 1st April 2010, the board of directors have introduced a new policy whereby Friends of the Association who require assistance to complete Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Attendance Allowance (AA) claim forms will be expected to make a donation for the service but only if the claim is successful. No donation would be expected if the Department of Works and Pensions (DWP) turned down any claim. If you require more information, please contact the helpline and ask for Kevin

The Association has links with national organisations who assist in assessing a visually impaired persons entitlement. For further information please contact Kevin Baldwin on 01535 602354 or e:mail enquiries@keighleyblind.org
