What Discounts And Free Help Is Available With Pip

happyman · September 14

I am on PIP, and struggling due to all the extra costs with my health getting worse. I am just wondering what extra help and discounts is available on PIP. I know about the waterside scheme and companion tickets. Just wondering if there is any other help available

I can (personally) recommend using Purpl Discounts. They have a page just for PIP related discounts and freebies, so it's worth checking out @happyman

If you have mobility issues, you can get a disabled persons railcard, which knocks 33% off your train tickets and they often have other offers.

A social broadband tariff may be available:

Disabled Persons Railcard

Leads onto 1/3 off tube travel in London when added to an Oyster card (£7, railcard discount cannot be combined with tap & go contactless bank card payment)

Possibly a free bus pass

Works nationally, won't scan on tfl London buses so show driver.

Blue badge (this is for convenient parking rather than free which is area/car park dependant)

Re water tariff speak to your supplier, if you are a low user standard tariff is often cheaper, they can run calculations for different tariffs based on your previous usage data.
