RNIB Wins 2 Year Legal Battle For Customer.
Season 1, Episode 418, Jun 02, 2020, 08:58 AM
When someone loses their sight, rehabilitation training should begin, with their local council, 3 months after registration and application.
However, for 1 RNIB customer, the battle to secure her rehab has lasted 2 years.
Finally, after support from RNIB, an Ombudsman's decision was given in favour of the customer and her life can begin once again.
RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell spoke to Danny Dooney who worked on the case to learn more.
If you have sight loss, or know someone who does, RNIB is here to help.
Call the Helpline on 0303 123 9999, Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm and on Saturdays 9am to 5pm.
