Getting around can be one of the hardest parts of living with a disability or long-term condition. These schemes can save money and make journeys easier.
In this guide
- Blue Badge: park closer to where you need to go
- Disabled Persons Railcard: a third off most train fares, for you and a companion
- Free bus passes: free off-peak bus travel in England, and free travel at any time in Wales
- Motability and car tax: lease a car or scooter, and pay no or less car tax

Quick tips
- Many of these schemes accept a PIP, DLA or Attendance Allowance award letter as proof, so keep yours safe.
- If you have 8 points or more in the PIP moving around activity, you usually qualify automatically for a Blue Badge and a disabled person's bus pass in England.
