Train fares and Bus tickets

Andy1234

I am currently in receipt of carer's allowance and my Fiancee, who I look after gets the highest rate of PIP allowance for both mobility and daily living. Should we be entitled to cheaper travel and how do we go about it, if we are?

Hi,

The disabled persons railcard will entitle you both to 1/3 reduction in train fares for a small cost each year. Details in link.

For a disabled persons bus pass, it will depend on the criteria of your partners local council. See link. https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-disabled-bus-pass

The railcars is £20 a year or £50 for 3 years and soon pays for itself if you make regular train journeys.

I am on PIP and recently renewed my bus pass and registered for myself plus a companion so my wife or another can travel free on all neighbouring county buses for free subject to pass conditions.
