How to register as disabled

Sight loss

Please contact your GP so they can refer you to a consultant eye specialist, who assesses whether you qualify to register as blind or partially sighted.

If you qualify, the eye specialist will complete a certificate of vision impairment. Please send it to us, were this will then be processed.

Physical or learning disability

Please visit the Wilberforce Health Centre. The necessary steps will be taken by a member of staff.

Hearing loss

To be registered for your hearing loss you must have had an audiogram or have a total or profound hearing loss. The citywide sensory team request the outcome of your audiogram to confirm whether you are eligible for registration.
