Just a thought, should carers not be entiled to free travel cards ?
In this area dad is entiled to a free bus travel card, which also entiles him to concessionary travel on the subway & railway, but i'm only entiled to one if i'm traveling with him, I can't use it if i'm alone, not even if it's getting shopping for him, or getting his perscriptions, etc.
When he does come out of hospital, he may be living at home with me, so help with travel costs, or free travel, would help. I'm also looking after my housebound brother, so I have to get his shopping as well.
