ESA for the blind/dead - a MUCH more generous interpretation?

being registered blind will NOT get you into the support group.
Can you please address the above linked document, or reasons why it does not apply.
I agree - prior to this being published - this was the DWPs position.
The document linked claims otherwise - for those that cannot read braille.
It gives an effective date of 23/11/11 - so is not for future implementation.
It specifically says it replaces guidance that only deaf/blind would be normally eligible for the support group.0 -
I can't believe this change has been made and nobody seems to know a thing about it?...
