Free travel eligibility question

Hi,
What PIP award would you need to qualify for a bus pass?
I have read this link and it makes reference to various levels of award for DLA but just says 'pip' and doesn't mention what rate etc

it varies from area to area tbh,i would assume that with pip it might be just getting the mobility component

Well, i thought that but in that link under the eligibility criteria for companion travel lists standard care for PIP.

Free travel in greater manchester doesn't go on a PIP award; it is based purely on their own criteria; each area will have their own criteria (just for info - may not be your area but each area has their own rules).

Thanks for the help. After some further research i've found this which states free bus pass in Scotland with any PIP award. Any care award also means companion travel
