Hi all 

Hope your all well?
Does anyone know about disabled freedom pass.

I haven't used mine since March and am worried they may have blocked it.
Please can any one advise.

Thank you

    Hi @hass - I've just looked at London Councils Freedom Pass website, & so long as your card hasn't expired, I can see nothing to suggest not using it for months would cause a problem. Please see: https://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/services/freedom-pass/disabled-persons-freedom-pass
    If in doubt, I would contact the council who issued your card to check. Hope this helps. :)

    It's a disabled person's pass for free travel in London, & for national bus use @lisathomas50 - no worries; I write odd things when I try to text; I ask my children to email me instead, as I'm rubbish with texting! :)

    Hi,

    You will need to have a look at the criteria for your local council with the disabled bus pass. If you don't automatically qualify you can still apply and send evidence to support your claim.

    Put your postcode into this link. https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-disabled-bus-pass

    With me when I applied with the transport for Wales  I had to be claiming pip  but if I didn't qualify with them I could apply to the local council as poppy said you have to have evidence here they requested medical evidence and self reporting evidence
