Pip payments, Retinal implants

In Touch

Available for over a year

PIPs are taking the place of DLA, but you'll need to fill out some new forms. We get guidance from the RNIB about how to do it correctly. Also Professor Robert MacLaren explains more about the so called "bionic eye" operation he carried out in Oxford which gave one of his patients some of her sight back. He performed a retinal implant operation which meant inserting a tiny electronic chip into the eye.
