Eligibility freedom pas was created by Anxiousannie
Hello
My friend said I am eligible for freedom pass, as find it hard leaving the flat without her she does not have a car anymore and will have to take me on transport but it sometimes causes me stress.
She said I should be allowed one. We applied and the council said no because I scored 0 mobility points but most of the time going out causes distress and I need someone with me.
Is this true I never know what to believe as feels like they just palm you off and don’t want to help.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

This is not an area of benefits that we deal with on the forum but a quick search found the following, as you can see PIP Mobility is not mentioned although an award might be considered as relevant evidence.

My late sister had a Transport for London freedom pass on the grounds that her mental health would have made her unsafe to drive had she wished to. She could walk physically fine.
