Hi @woodsy and welcome to the community, I am sorry you are having such a tough time.  

I found this information on the RNIB site, could it help at all?

Hello @woodsy are you feeling any better? I feel your frustrations. I really hope you work out your son's bus pass soon. I don't understand why if somebody has a problem that is proven medically why the government whether it's the British or the United States government wants to make things more difficult for people like us. The frustrations and anxiety over it just messes with our health even more and makes every much much more difficult in our lives. You hang in there woodsy. I sincerely hope you get everything sorted soon.

woodsy

thanks sam but every day is a tough time 

woodsy

thanks bam its just makes you feel stupid im good enough when they want something doing but the moment you want something the stress level over something thats supposed to be so simple is so frustrating i had a heart attack at christmas due to the stress of everything i still had to sighn myself out because i had to give injections to my brother as he wont let any one else touch him its a joke isnt it and yet there must be thousands out there like me
