For each application you will need to submit proofs to demonstrate that you meet the eligibility criteria.
If you do not meet one of the automatic eligibility criteria, you may still be eligible under the assessed criteria. Most people applying under the assessed criteria will need to attend a Mobility Assessment.
Most applicants applying, because they have an enduring and substantial disability which causes you, during the course of a journey to be unable to walk, will need to attend an appointment with an expert assessor in order to have their eligibility for the scheme(s) assessed.
This will take place at our Supported Travel Team in Twickenham. The assessment will last approximately 30 minutes and will involve a discussion with the Occupational Therapist about your mobility difficulties, followed by a short walking assessment.
