Blind Person's Allowance
An additional tax-free allowance of £3,070 (2025/26) available to registered blind individuals, added on top of the Personal Allowance to reduce taxable income. If you cannot use all of your Blind Person's Allowance because your income is too low, the unused portion can be transferred to a spouse or civil partner. You must be registered as blind with your local authority to claim this allowance.
