RNIB "Taken for a ride" campaign

The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) are campaigning for the higher rate mobility component of DLA to be automatically available to people with serious sight loss.

The Government is now in the process of making its decision about whether or not to make the changes but is under extreme financial pressure and RNIB believe that the decision could go either way.

Ways you can help

You can get involved by:

• asking your MP to sign the new Early Day Motion number 1982.
• asking your MP to write to the Secretary of State.
• come along to RNIB's Lobby of Parliament on 15 October.
• write to your local newspaper.
• tell your friends and family and encourage them to support you and the campaign.
• contact RNIB’s DLA Hotline on 020 7391 2096 for more information and a campaign pack.

For more information see the RNIB website.
