Hi. I have a freedom pass and was set to expire 2025. However it has stopped working. Newham council say it was only issued for 1 year and has been stopped. I now need to reapply. 

The problem is they say they want a pip award letter detailing my mobility points scored dated within three months. But my Pip was awarded long before that. So what do I do? 

They say they don't accept discharge summaries. I have schizophrenia and mild autism and have a tribunal report detailing my illnesses.

    Hi @Travelman88 that sounds frustrating!

    Could you perhaps try contacting the office where you made your PIP claim? If you mention it's for your Freedom Pass they might be able to send you a more recent letter detailing your award and your mobility points.
