If you have any of the following proofs of entitlement you can immediately apply online:
- A letter from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) showing that you have been awarded Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
- Personal Independence Payment (PIP) letter which must state a score of 8 points in either Moving Around or Communicating to qualify for a pass
- Proof that you have been awarded a “Blue Badge”
We need to see both sides of the blue badge (one side shows your name and photo and the other side has the ‘valid to’ date)
- Proof that you are receiving War Pensioner's Mobility Supplement
- A letter from your local authority confirming that you are entitled to a pass
- A completed Mental Health Transport Concession form signed and stamped by your psychiatrist (Barnsley only).
