Couple of years ago, I had my eyes tested and was told that I could get registered blind. I said I think about it and then my mum said I should as it could mean more benefits. So she wrote and even rang the hospital, where I had my eyes tested and it took under 2 years for them to find my stuff and do something about it. Well, earlier this week I had a form from them, which I didn't have a clue what to do with as the form was in the envelope and nothing else and I though it said that I was still registered partially sighted. When my parents came yesterday, I showed them this form with very unreadable writing (and believe you me, this was a lot worse than my awful writing) and I was told that in fact the form said that I was registered blind, not paritally sighted. Which shows how blind I am. So, this week I am going to find out if I can get more benefits and stuff and if anybody, especially customers coming up to me and asking me in that rude way, whether I am blind or not, then I will say yes I am, hee hee.

2 years? Sigh, sounds like a classic example of bureaucratic "efficiency." I hope this enables you to get the benefits that you're entitled to, Met!

I hope this works out for you, Met!

Yeah, Met...it sounds like you can have some fun with this and you are telling the truth...you are officially blind! I hope this means that you can get more benefits!

Hope it doesn't take as long to sort the benefits out!

I hope you can get your benefits too Met...
