To renew a disabled person’s bus pass in Southend, you might need to provide additional evidence if you have applied under category D or G. The council will send a letter before your bus pass expires, requesting specific documents to confirm your eligibility.
The typical evidence required includes:
Document Type Description Proof of higher mobility component Evidence of the Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Address verification Recent proof of address (e.g., utility bill, bank statement) Make sure to update your address if you've moved, as failing to do this can delay your renewal.
