(2025): When is a person considered blind?

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.

Deaf individuals do not receive the increased disability allowance.

The proof of helplessness is provided with the disability card showing the mark "Bl". Alternatively, the notice from the pension office with the relevant details can serve as proof.

Note

In 2017, the mark "TBl" (deafblind) was newly introduced in social law to clarify equal status with the mark "Bl". The extension is declaratory, as people with the mark "Bl" and/or the mark "TBl" always also receive the mark "H".
