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.
