Tomorrow I am going to a hospital appointment in London and I’m using public transport. Due to the benefits I’m on I am able to claim the train fare back. I will need to give evidence of my benefits but I cannot remember whether I need to take my PIP award for ESA award. Please could someone advise me. TIA.

Thank you Poppy. -
You should always have copies of these in case you loose the original. You never know when you will need them so file them away safely.

Make photocopies. Keep them in a safe place.

Hi @sheZZa, I hope you appointment went well yesterday, and that you managed to sort claiming it back.
