Deafness

Hi everyone I hope you and you family's are coping in these very hard times, I have asked questions on here before about benefits and people have been very helpful.

I am asking this question on behalf of our Son In Law.
He has had hearing difficulties all his life and just recently his hearing has got worse, he was wearing one hearing aid but now he has got to wear one in each ear.

Are there any benefits he can claim for his restricted hearing.

There are no benefits that are awarded based on a diagnosis. He can look at claiming PIP which is a disability benefit. Whether he’s entitled will depend on how his conditions affect him against the 12 PIP activities.
