National Entitlement Card

Anybody got one?

 

To my huge surprise I've just found out that I'm now entitled to one. My epilepsy has relapsed in the last few weeks and although I don't consider myself disabled, I qualify because the DVLA have revoked my driving licence on medical grounds.

 

I feel like a fraudster but my GP is adamant that I should take what I am entitled to.

 

Free use of all peasant shuttles (aka buses) anywhere in Scotland will soften the blow of not being able to nip to the supermarket, dry cleaners, etc in the car.

 

What I can't fathom from any websites about the NEC is what, if anything, it gets me on the trains - anyone know?

 

My journey to Tynie and some away trips will be by train only for the foreseeable future....

Interesting. I have the same condition, and spend a fortune on travel to and from uni- what exactly is this, and how do you apply?

I was surprised - if my GP hadn't told me about it I wouldn't have had a clue. All the info is here:
