Hi there 

Yes I got awarded as I am significantly vision impaired and unable to read without the use of aids I can't remember how many points 

I think it is also for those with learning difficulties but not 100% on that if what other things would score points

Hi there I didn’t get any thing for reading as they said in the report I can read text messages reminders to do with my meds and from my partner so I scored 0 on that one hope that helps

You may get more relevant answers if you explain what your concern is e.g. whether you have a specific reading issue and are concerned whether the available points may or may not apply to you. 

Talking an informal poll of experiences isn’t really going to tell you anything.

Hi mikehughesca...My Partner has a reading difficulty...for example..He would be unable to read important info..like regarding Medicine..side effects etc..also real difficulty spelling.. writing...He has hid this from Family also...and suffers anxiety over the years ..as a result.
