Blind Work Expenses (bwe)

Claimants who have Social Security Disability blindness may qualify to receive Supplemental Security Income benefits. Supplemental Security Income payments may be reduced by a claimant's income. The Social Security Administration does not count any earned income that a blind claimant uses to meet expenses that are needed to earn that income when deciding their SSI eligibility and their payment amount. Common blind work expenses can include: service animal expenses, attendant care services, visual and sensory aids, Social Security taxes, professional associate fees, etc.
