Qualifying Disabilities
Applicants must submit evidence to show that their disability makes them eligible for a Disabled Persons Railcard. This includes having visual and hearing impairments, epilepsy or a number of allowances available to disabled people. This approach is similar to that used for local authority Concessionary Travel Schemes or the Blue badge Disabled Parking Permit Scheme. Current eligibility criteria are shown on the Disabled Persons Railcard website.

Famous quotes containing the word disabilities:
“The more I read and the more I talked to other parents of children with disabilities and normal children, the more I found that feelings and emotions about children are very much the same in all families. The accident of illness or disability serves only to intensify feelings and emotions, not to change them.”
—Judith Weatherly (20th century)
