Hi there,

I need to visit an Occupational Therapist next week, about getting a Disabled Person Freedom Pass. What sort of things should I expect? I have heart failure and 2 neurological conditions, along with depression and anxiety. Thanks.

    Hi @JL1 and a very warm welcome to the community! This pass will enable you to have free travel around London (with a few exceptions).

    Hi. Thanks for this; I know what the Pass covers, so it was more about what might be involved with the OT test.

    Sorry about that one @JL1, did the assessment go okay? I've never heard of this personally, so would be unsure what to expect.

    I was assessed by an Occupational Therapist based on my mobility, and was declined. I am now going to prepare my appeal and push ahead to try and get one.
