Thanks all.

Advice needed.

    Hi I am a type one diabetic with severe proliferate retinopathy in both eyes, with zero vision out of left eye at the moment. Very likely that I will require intrusive operations on both eyes as laser treatments so far have not helped.
    As I will not be able to work after these operations, due to long recovery periods, would I be able to get disability allowance. This eye disease will be with me for a long time to come.
    If I apply for disability allowance, can I get my current payment rate through the SWA weekly payment from the CWO, while a decision is being made.
    Also my partner gets half rate carers allowance, as I claim for her.
    Will her payment be affected, as I will have to sign off while waiting on a decision on the disability allowance.
    Or is there another payment I could apply for?
    Thanks for reading and for any advice if offered.
