Hi all, has anybody managed to get a disabled person's railcard lately? (Who does not qualify for PIP) If so would you mind sharing the process and what was needed. TIA

I've been watching videos on YouTube about people being questioned by other disabled blue badge holders on whether they should be parking in disabled car spots because "they don't look disabled". I think it's disgusting. If anyone said that to me, they'd get their answer. I have to admit. When I par...

I was interviewed for MoneyBox Live on BBC Radio 4 the other day because they (the Rail Delivery Group in charge of the cards) still haven't changed their site to make it clearer as they had promised. The interview ought to go out next Saturday but as with all things media, it may get bumped. I am...

As many of you know - search it all using the magnifying glass on the top right - about 3 years ago I got very worked up at the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) which manages the Disabled Persons Railcards. They make it appear on the website that you need to hit certain thresholds of disability to get the...

NEW MS BLOG | “Am I Invisible?” by @Rubysoho_87 Even prior to my diagnosis when I didn’t know why I was unwell, I was having to cancel plans more often. When I was feeling good, I’d do too much and burn out (which is something I can still be guilty of, but I’m much better than I used to be!) I w...

We are getting somewhere: I spoke to the Rail Ombudsman just to ask for help about who to talk to they were *very* keen to get involved. If you are interested then read on. I have enclosed my summary for the ombudsman. It is pretty dull if you aren't thinking about a Disabled Persons Railcard. Th...
