His Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HMRC) - Blind Person's Allowance Claims

This is a priority telephone number for people wishing to claim Blind Person's Allowance.

All registered blind people are entitled to claim this tax allowance which means that you can receive an additional annual income without being taxed.

When you call this number the advisers will either be able to take your application there and then (as long as you have your National Insurance number handy) or can transfer you to a local office who will be able to sign you up. It should take just the one call to claim your Allowance and this will carry on year on year automatically.

They will also be able to give you advice about the Allowance or general advice about tax issues.
