People over State Pension age with eyesight issues could be due up to £434 extra each month

dailyrecord.co.uk:

An estimated two million people across Great Britain are living with eyesight issues or a degenerative eye condition. Nearly 59,000 working age adults under 65 are receiving extra financial support through Personal Independence Payment (PIP) or Adult Disability Payment (ADP), while more than 50,000 people over State Pension age are getting regular payments through Attendance Allowance.

Three out of four people with a visual impairment are aged over 65 with around 8,000 people of working age registered blind or partially sighted.

For adults that lose their sight in later life, it can be very distressing as they feel they are no longer able to enjoy some of the activities they love to do, such as driving, taking part in sports, reading and cooking.

Mobility can also be affected and with that may come independence and travel issues, although it’s important to be aware that the dedicated disability benefit for people over State Pension age - Attendance Allowance - does not include a component for mobility needs.
