Home pregnancy testing kits are currently totally inaccessible to people who are blind or severely visually impaired but could they be adapted to include an audible result? We hear from an engineer who says an accessible option could be easy to produce and from a blind woman who wants to start a family but is forced to rely on a third party to read the results. Plus we ask when you are likely to hear whether you are eligible for an extra thirty pounds a week in benefits as changes to Disability Living Allowance come into effect.
