I have got mine in the post today thank you to the people who suggested it

It's a lot easier to carry around then a letter from the DWP. I keep mine in my wallet all the time.

Plus there's no address on it for people to see.

these are just private companies profiteering off a lack of a national formal scheme. They are in no way official , the one that is recognised in the most places formally is the ACCESS card by NIMBUS

These national ones look like driving licences, they are made to 'look official' and in some ways mean that people become more gullible to falling for fake government schemes like the fake GHIC websites etc, so just beware.

To be honest, they shouldn't really accept your student card or your new disability card as they are not official. They are only meant to accept official ID's such as a Driving Licence, Passport etc.

I've been showing people the blue ID card for over 6 years now and it's never been questioned or refused. I was a bit worried at first though in case it was worth the money.

35 years ago - I registered as being DISABLED and was issued with a card by my Disability Employment Advisor - What's changed ?

Why is this card even allowed to pretend to be an official document - with a crown on it ?
