Hello, community. I have a question. I have recently been awarded PIP and have no other benefits. My annual eye test is coming up and I no longer qualify under being a student due to my age (21 years), so can I get a free eye test on my PIP alone?
Thanks in advance. Any advice is welcome.

No unless you qualify for health reasons;

But you might find some opticians that offer free eye test from time to time.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡 -
As above, there are often free vouchers online and in newspapers and so on that allow you to get an eye test for free. That's what I used to use @Anomalous123.
Are you currently employed? Many employers offer schemes for their employees that allow you to access free eye tests, depending on the nature of the job.
