Disability allowance to Invalidity Pension

ok so to i got a free travel pass from the social welfare in the post does that mean that i have being granted invalidty pension??
there was no letter with it just the free travel pass
 
It might be a Social Services Card, which can double as a Swipe Card (for collecting payments at the post office) and a free travel pass for those who qualify? Unusual that it came without a letter, but that might be on the way!
 
i all ready have a ssc card to collect payments in the post office ,ths pass is card looks like the card that you get when you reach 65 cos my dad got one when he reached that age

the travel pass card used to be a cardboard thingy about 4"x4" but recently they have upgraded them to plastic credit card size with photo on them.

mine is 4x4 cardboard thingy with a clear plastic pouch to keep it in,wonder why there was no letter with is though
 
My travel pass is about 4x4 also, in some parts, especially Dublin the aim is to have one HSE card, and SW with a a credit card increption, like the UK, it will carry all your emergecy records on the encription, ad your emergecy meds

normally you have to be approved for DA or IP before you get travell pass before 66,
take what you get, but it looks good. Best of luck

I just re-checked as I said they issued a plastic credit card type with name photo and address on it but it is invalid unless accompanied by the 4 x4 cardboard yoke.

Reason I guess is that fuller details on that if required.

Was their no instructions to go to the bus station and get your photo taken for the plastic card.
 
had a look at the insde there it says that if you live in dublin,cork city,waterford city limerick city or galway city that you must exchange this voucher for a photopass at the cie city pass office.

i live in mayo so i presume it hasent being allocated to her yet.
 
I'd give them a ring and enquire whats the story, no harm. (071) 915 7100
