Bus pass for child on DLA

Hi there,

I have a 5 year old autistic child on DLA & our main form of transportation is the bus as we are in a rural location. She is awaiting a place at a special school so does not have a school bus pass as yet. Is she eligible to apply for a bus pass & me as her carer also? It’s £13 return everytime we go out & me having to give up work to become her full time carer am really struggling to have to pay for this everytime. Any advice? Thank you
