Thanks to the massive fundraising efforts by the guide dogs charity 🐕‍🦺💰, blind people in the UK can have guide dogs free of charge 🐾. However, other high-tech, less adorable mobility devices 👩‍💻🚶‍♂️ must be funded by individuals.

Luckily, many with severe sight loss qualify for government support through the mobility component of Personal Independence Payments 💳👩‍⚖️. This gives them the spending power they need for what are often expensive mobility devices.

Meanwhile, guide dog owners can use their PIP for things like cleaners 🧹, food delivery services 🍱, paying for ironing 👔, or even hiring a travel companion for holidays ✈️🌴.
