Concessionary Bus Pass Assessment

DannyBoyy

Hi there.

I might get a better response on this bit of the forum, I wasn't getting any replies on the General Chat section.

Basically, last Wednesday (2nd) I went for a Bus Pass Assessment at a local GP surgery (Not my own) and I applied for the pass on the following grounds:

  • Aspergers
  • Anxiety/Depression

Well I took in a letter from the doctor which states I can't drive and what medication I'm on. I also took in a letter from my care worker at the hospital under the Aspergers team. 
I'm rather confused about the assessment, it lasted just 5 minutes if that. The doctor asked me what schools I went to and what I'm currently doing. He also asked what my health problems are, and he sent us on our way. I don't know what to think really, it's a waiting game because now I have to wait for the post, and the card would arrive attached to a letter (If I get it). Can someone give me their experiences? The assessment was rather short. 
Thanks!!
Daniel.

  • I have one and just take the form to the Dr to stamp and sign and hand it back to the transport office and was about two weeks to wait. They didn't have to explain why they signed it. Just signed and the practice stamp. Quite a painless procedure for government things really.

    It did go wrong at the beginning when needed to renew the pass as the transport office gave me the wrong form. They could see I wasn't needed an older person pass so gave me a disability form. Someone told me I needed an appointment at council offices to prove i was disabled and needed a letter from the GP. The GP wouldnt sign the form and the practice was as confused as I was because it wasn't the usual form. No wonder when it wasn't the right form in the first place. But once had the right form they willingly signed it.
