Blind as a drunken bat

Couple of years ago, I had my eyes tested and was told that I could get registered blind. I said I think about it and then my mum said I should as it could mean more benefits.

So she wrote and even rang the hospital, where I had my eyes tested and it took under 2 years for them to find my stuff and do something about it.

Well, earlier this week I had a form from them, which I didn't have a clue what to do with as the form was in the envelope and nothing else and I though it said that I was still registered partially sighted.

When my parents came yesterday, I showed them this form with very unreadable writing (and believe you me, this was a lot worse than my awful writing) and I was told that in fact the form said that I was registered blind, not paritally sighted.

Which shows how blind I am.

So, this week I am going to find out if I can get more benefits and stuff and if anybody, especially customers coming up to me and asking me in that rude way, whether I am blind or not, then I will say yes I am, hee hee.

2 years? Sigh, sounds like a classic example of bureaucratic "efficiency."

I hope this enables you to get the benefits that you're entitled to, Met!

Yeah, Met...it sounds like you can have some fun with this and you are telling the truth...you are officially blind! I hope this means that you can get more benefits!

Hope it doesn't take as long to sort the benefits out!
