TV Licence reduction if you are severely sight impaired
EnglandWalesScotlandNorthern Ireland
A 50% reduction in the TV Licence fee if you are registered as blind or severely sight impaired.
What you get
A 50% reduction in the TV Licence fee if you qualify. Official GOV.UK and TV Licensing guidance describes this as a discount, not a free licence. A separate concession can make a licence free if you are 75 or over and get Pension Credit — that is a different rule.
Who can get it
You must be registered as blind or severely sight impaired. The licence should be in the blind person’s name. You need accepted proof, such as a Certificate of Visual Impairment, a local-authority certificate, or other evidence listed by TV Licensing.
How to apply
Apply through TV Licensing, or follow the GOV.UK pages on TV Licence discounts and financial help if you are disabled.
