carers id cards

Cyclamen

Hi Lemontart

If DWP say you are disabled i assume you are on DLA/PIP - carry a photocopy of the award letter. That will do as evidence for a carer.

I have never been asked to prove my entitlement to a carer but I use chair when out.. on good days i use sticks.. but i know some places can be funny with invisible illnesses.

It can be hard to by carer tickets in advance when going places.. i've found websites don't have it listed but when i get anywhere i usually just state a disabled and carer ticket please.

I hope you get this sorted.. it can be expensive needing a carer when going out.

you have more than inough evidence there

scan or photocopy things so you don't lose them.. it always makes me chuckle when places want my blue badge as evidence yet seem to forget that i need it to park to get to them.

update - managed to get a carers emergency card from o/hs local carers support group as mine has stopped issuing them due to funding cuts .
