New research published by RNIB shows delays to support following a sight loss diagnosis are leaving blind and partially sighted people at risk.
Titled Life on Pause, the report shows a fifth of local authorities in England left people waiting for more than a year for a vision rehabilitation assessment and subsequent support. Whilst 85 per cent of local authorities missed the RNIB recommended timeframe to offer assessments.
This means thousands of people with sight loss remain Out of Sight and unable to access the support they need to live life to the full.
Joining us now to share her experience of accessing rehabilitation services and the importance of being able to access them early on is Bhavini Makwana.
