Blind man leaves job over sight: told he's fit to work

Richard Alcock, a 62-year-old former civil servant from Bury, was registered blind at 18 months old. He walked with a stick and read using braille, but he still worked for 28 years for local government. Unfortunately as computers became ubiquitous in the office, he was unable to continue to work - so 12 years ago he took early retirement and relied on benefits.

Now he has been assessed as fit for work.
