Benefit Rights Advisor, Tennis, Confirmation bias
Anne Adams is a blind benefits advisor who, due to inaccessible forms, now needs a support worker. Tom Walker reports on blind tennis and Jane Taylor on confirmation bias.
Anne Adams is a visually-impaired benefits right's advisor working at the CAB, who, unable to access a DWP form for PIPs, now has to employ a support worker to help her do her job of assisting other blind people to complete their PIPs (Personal Independence Payment) forms.
She tells Peter about her fury and sadness she feels by having to have sighted assistance and explains that it now makes her feel 'disabled' and not independent at all.
Tom Walker takes up his racquet and goes to Leeds to meet some blind tennis players, including Kelly Kronin and Ben Green.
Jane Taylor is a visually-impaired journalist and makes her In Touch debut by delivering a column about confirmation bias.
