that doesnt helps us then thansk for looking we only get middle rate care and middle rate mobility for her eventhough she has cerbal palsy and cant walk far

Hi Daniel, they said we are not entitled to the consessionary pass as Charlie is under 5 and he is free on the bus.

surely I would be able to claim for my mother in law's pass though?

Yes you would be fine as the Castlepoint system allows a companion to travel with the disabled person and it doesnt say who that is so i believe that means its an open pass for those travelling at the time.
She wouldnt however be given her own pass and it would be used when your child is travelling with her.
Details can be found at:

Thank you for that - they are sending me the forms
