PGP Sponsorship - Medical Admissibility

[Rubydairy]

Hi all, does anyone know if a PGP sponsorship application can be rejected for a parent that is legally blind. My dad lost his vision to glaucoma and is legally blind in both eyes (he only see enough to walk around the house) that is the only medical issue he has. This is been the situation for over 10 years now after the surgery was performed. Does anyone know if that will be an issue? Thanks in advance.

If he is able to see enough to cook, clean, care for himself, etc. and his level of vision will not progress to complete blindness it probably won’t be an issue.

Thanks for your response. My mum actually does the cooking, but he does everything else for himself. And even walks to our shop (about 1km down the street) and back everyday. I am hoping for the best.
