What Do I Need To Qualify For A Freedom Pass?

AI Summary

Bromley’s Freedom Pass page doesn’t spell out the eligibility rules in the material available here. It only shows the service listing, so I can’t reliably tell you what you need to qualify from these records alone.

If you meant the Blue Badge scheme, Bromley says you may qualify if you have severe mobility problems and meet one of the automatic or discretionary criteria listed below.

Eligibility route What Bromley says
Automatic Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance (HRMCDLA)
Automatic Mobility component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) with 8 points or more for “moving around”
Automatic Mobility component of PIP with 10 points for Descriptor E under “planning and following a journey” because you cannot undertake any journey without overwhelming psychological distress
Automatic Registered blind (severely sight impaired)
Automatic War Pensioner’s Mobility Supplement (WPMS)
Automatic Lump sum benefit at tariffs 1 to 8 of the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme, plus a permanent and substantial disability causing inability to walk or very considerable difficulty in walking
Discretionary Severe disability in both arms and difficulty operating parking meters
Discretionary Permanent and substantial disability causing inability to walk or very considerable difficulty in walking
Discretionary Physical, non-visible (hidden) or other disability that makes journeys very difficult

If you were asking about the Freedom Pass specifically, Bromley’s available page doesn’t include the qualification details, so I can’t confirm them from the council’s published information here.
