With a massive state pension hike for Britons with impaired vision, retirees across the UK could claim an extra £407 each month.
Attendance Allowance could provide weekly assistance to pensioners suffering from cataract, glaucoma, or macular degeneration.
Around two million people in the United Kingdom have sight loss or degenerative eye disorders.
Attendance Allowance is a tax-free benefit that provides assistance to over 1.4 million people across the country.
Those of state pension age with daily living expenses can claim the extra finds to help them stay independent in their own home for longer.
The latest Department for Work and Pensions figures show that at the end of November 2022 there were 45,138 people receiving either £68.10 or £101.75 each week for a hearing condition.
Common health issues affecting eyesight which are supported through disability benefits include diseases of conjunctiva, cornea, eyelids and lacrimal apparatus.
Other conditions include uveitis, glaucoma, diseases of the retina and optic nerve, cataract, disorders of eye movement and visual field defects.
Attendance Allowance assists Britons who have a physical or mental impairment or sickness that makes daily life difficult but does not cover mobility needs.
Those who file a claim may be eligible for payments to assist with personal care such as dressing, eating or drinking, getting in and out of bed, washing or showering, and going to the bathroom, as well as being safe.
Claimants could receive £68.10 or £101.75 each week, paid every four weeks, depending on the level of care required, for a total of £272.40 and £407.00.
Attendance Allowance is not means-tested, therefore savings and income are not taken into account when applying.
