Blind individuals receive the increased disability allowance of 7,400 Euro per year. Blindness is defined as having no more than two percent vision in the better eye.
In 2017, the mark "TBl" (deafblind) was introduced in social law to clarify equal status with the mark "Bl". This extension is declaratory, as individuals with the mark "Bl" and/or "TBl" always receive the mark "H".
