Re: a few complaints about the blind comunity
Hi.
I couldn't agree more. I have DLA and ESA which is great and I'm thankful for having it. But! The laws in the UK are really not good when it comes to disability. Yes you can get things for free but something I've never liked is this Disability and blindness I'm not sure about people with hearing problems, but blindness and other disabilities are usually in the same box as elderly people. Which is not true, you can be young and have a disability of course but the people who make the laws, want to put you in places with the elderly or treat you as if you're stupid. I might be looking in to going to a place for the blind in a place called shepards bush, and yes it's for elderly people, but do I really want to do that? No. Will I have to in the end? i honestly don't know but the way housing in my area is going I think I might. I was refused housing due to the fact that I already live with my parents. I can understand that, oh I don't like it; but I understand it. What really gets me though is this; on the form online that you have to fill in, it says do you have a disability? So i ticked it. I wrote I'm blind and described my condition. On the letter that refused my housing form, it says disibility? No. Which is stupid because I'm blind. I didn't fight back then but after this massage corse I'm thinking about doing that. Although I've been told that Ealing council won't help anyone under the age of 25 now, which is the stupidest thing I've herd but it doesn't surprise me. So I've got 3 more years to go until i can get help again. So who knows what will happen in that time.
