Proof of PIP entitlement

    I have only recently found out that if you get a disablement benefit, that qualifies you at some places to get a free ticket for a carer at places like theatres etc.
    They ask for proof of entitlement but say they don't want to see any financial details on it but I don't understand what I can give them as my letter telling me of the award says what I have been awarded ie standard rate at £xxx pounds for daily living until July 2020 and standard rate of £xxx for motability etc.
    I don't seem to have any other paperwork that doesn't have figures on it.

    Is there another piece of paper without the figures or do people just scan it and scrub the figures out then re scan it to send?

    Thanks

    Hi, sometimes the 1st page states the award of benefit and the 2nd page states the amount ?
    So just show the 1st page, but keep all the pages together for your own records

    On mine, its all on the first page unfortunately. You would think it would be separated, would make more sense!! Thanks though xx

    You should have a statement of entitlement with the points and award period on, can you not use that?

    Last 2 pages of award letter on mine.

    Yes, I've been using the page with the award and financial details on. Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated.
