[Angela fowler]

Helene, I'm curious, what is Higher Rate Mobility, and how does it differ
from Middle Rate Mobility?

Let me know if you do. It will be good to meet up with likeminded blind
people. I'm sure there are lots of independant blind people in UK. It's just
that they don't have an organisation like NFB that is particularly active.

Some of the RNIB campaigns include campaigning to get blind people higher
rate mobility which should be there just for blind with aditional
disablities, and people with mobility issues. Blind people already get
middle rate mobility.  To get them higher mobility would involve playing
down the ability of blind people since an independant blind person really
doesn't NEED higher rate mobility. An Independant blind person needs a
career, and if employers see blind people as needing too much help that will
put spokes in their way to meaningful employment.
