I qualify for a bus pass but as of now I have not claimed it and I would think that many pensioners with cars dont claim the right to a bus pass.
If you can get about under your own steam and are fit enough to do so, why subject yourself to a means test.
Too many governing busybodies paid a lot of money for coming up with hairbrained ideas for persons they think are too old to realise that they are being hoodwinked..........did not come from my school.
theres no means test at all roy, ya just fill a very small form in along wi a photo n its sent away few weeks later yer pass lands, we use ours occasionally like margaret says, costs a bomb to park, n we have lunch or a snack etc wi that money. the elderly get little enough IMHO, n most have worked all there lives, so what little they can have, i think its daft not to.
