Petition Getting Government/DWP to Recognize blindness as a physical disability

More details

The blind have been discriminated against by the government/DWP for many years as the government/DWP have not & still do not recognize blindness as a physical disability which it is, instead the government/DWP only recognize blindness as a sensory impairment, the result being the blind get very very little from the government/DWP in the way of benefits & this must change as discrimination is unacceptable in 2012!
