My son is now in receipt of disability allowance and has obtained a free travel pass for himself.
As his agent, I am going to apply for him to obtain Companion pass
The criteria states that the person "medically assessed as unfit to travel alone."
My son is autistic, and while he chats away to me about his interests he has communication difficulties, anxiety etc which have culminated in self harm
My GP has completed the form for him, but Id like to understand more on the criteria.
Can anyone advise on this please? Are they looking for something additional? Are SW making the call themselves based on the form?
Any info appreciated, thank you
