Hi my 19 year old daughter has KC. She has had it for nearly a year now, her KC has progressed very quickly and she on the list for a graft.
I'm just wondering if there are any government benefits she can claim.
Thanks

Re: Benefits and KC
There aren't any specific benefits associated with keratoconus.
However there are benefits for people who are registered as blind or partially sighted. There are a few people with KC whose vision cannot be corrected either by treatment and/or with contact lenses and have registered.
A leaflet written by Moorfield's Eye Hospital explains the benefits of registration:
