The Blind Person's Pension is a means tested payment paid to blind and
visually impaired people. To qualify for this pension you will be
required to have an eye test given by an ophthalmic surgeon to verify
your visual impairment. Certain people with low vision may also
qualify.

The payment you receive is made up of a personal rate for you and
extra amounts for a qualified adult dependant and any child
dependants. You will automatically get a Travel Pass which allows you
to travel on State public transport for free. If you are awarded a
Blind Person's Pension, you may also qualify for the Blind Welfare
Allowance which is a supplementary income maintenance payment.
