Many blind and partially sighted people being denied support, charity says

Thousands of blind and partially sighted people are being denied their right to support after sight loss, a charity has said.

A new report by the sight-loss charity RNIB suggests people at all stages of sight loss are being let down by a forgotten, under-resourced social care service and patchwork provision of care.

A Freedom of Information (FOI) request to local authorities in England indicates people with sight loss are being denied their right to rehabilitation services.
