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 do have one but didn't reply as I did not have to have an assessment to get it.  I lost my driving licence for a period of time due to very severe depression and anxiety and so got a bus pass under the criterion of  not being able to drive due to a medical condition.  My care coordinator (CMHT) completed the form for me and I just handed it in at the council offices.  I now have my driving licence back (although on a 1-year renewal) but use the bus pass a lot as I have a lot of anxieties about driving and also am unable to at times when my depression/anxiety flares up or due to medication changes.
