English disabled person's bus pass
A concessionary bus pass for eligible disabled residents in England, issued by your local council.
What you get
A bus pass as part of the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme. What journeys are free or discounted, and at what times, depends on the national minimum concession and any extras your local council offers. London has a separate Freedom Pass system.
Who can get it
You must live in England and be ‘eligible disabled’ under the concessionary travel rules. Your local council assesses this. A disability benefit can be useful evidence, but do not assume every PIP or DLA award automatically qualifies — check your council’s criteria. There is a different older-person’s pass once you reach the qualifying age.
How to apply
Contact your local council, or start from the GOV.UK ‘Apply for a disabled person's bus pass’ page, which points you to the right issuer. You will usually need a photo and evidence of disability and address.
