question !
Posted: Wed 17 Feb 2010 9:04 am
Hi all,
I hope this message finds you all well !
just a quick question if anyone can help me. I fell down the stairs at night in Cardiff train station so decided to have a cane. I have great trouble seeing anything at night what with glare and kaleidoscopic lights etc. Anyway I have training on my cane every Monday and it is rather amusing but gives me more confidence and its still strange that I can walk without looking at the floor.
I have not been legal to drive for 3 years yet I am not registered partially sighted. The social services people who are training me on my cane said that if I am not legal to drive then I should be registered as that way I would be entitled to help with travel e.g. free bus transport etc and also that access to work would be able to sort out transport to and from work. The social people are now writing to my consultant.
anyone have any ideas on what the criteria is for being registered ?
many thanks
