Can someone be covered under two Railcards?

I may be making this more complicated than it need be but I can't find any info about my query on the Railcard site.

Adult son is eligible for a Disabled Person's Railcard, so him and I can travel together at a discount. However that Railcard would not discount the rest of the family's tickets.

So he could get the Disabled Railcard which would discount tickets on the days we go out just the two of us and I could get a Family/Friends Railcard which would discount all our family's tickets for when we all went out together.

So son would be discounted under two different cards (at different times). Is that ok or against some rule or other?

    Yes, that's ok. Using one at a time is fine.

    Obviously he wouldn't get double the discount though. ;)
