Is this a "Free" pensioner "Freedom Pass"......therefore no top-up.
No, because if the OP is applying for a 60+ Oystercard, then they are not old enough to qualify for a Freedom Pass. The 60+ covers the interim period until State Pension age. The OP must therefore have either a PAYG Oystercard, period Travelcard, or a season ticket. And be topping up or paying by cash.No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
Tell me ANY gov department that make it easy:(
It's administered by TFL, not a gov't department. The process, if done online, is straightforward and very efficient-mine took about 4 days to arrive.
The only difficulty here is caused by the OP not possessing a debit card. So why not pay a friend £20 to use theirs?No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
I have taken the verification letter and proof of age and address to the post office and paid the admin fee
My question now is about the photo of myself do I wait for them to contact me by post with the details on where to send the photo as there are no details about a address where to send it
Also how long does it take from the time that you apply to the time that you receive the pass
In order to download the verification letter I assume that you set up an online account. So now log in and see what it says about sending your photo.0 -

OT, but TfL is a government organisation, but it is regional, not central.
They have to verify your address because otherwise people who don't live in London would try to claim the card.0 -

The board of TFL is appointed by and answerable to the Mayor of London. Not to any central gov't dept such as the DOT.No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
I suspect the OP has got his/her card by now0
