Free Cinema Tickets for the Disabled

lyniced

redmerlot - print the form off - thats what I did. No need to go down to a cinema to get one. By the way has anyone got their card? Just wondering how long it takes to arrive. I'm desperate to get out to see some films. Top of my list is Finding Neverland and also The Grudge.

Hey thanks, my dad is registered blind.

But he can still see but has limited vision.

This is great he is now a happy man.

Just wondering if anyone has got their card yet? I'm probably being very impatient, as I only sent off the form a week ago!

You have to have the National Disabled Persons Railcard to qualify.

Londoners please note: the Disabled Person's Freedom Pass is not valid.

A real shame as the freedom pass gives us Zones 1-6 including rail links so unless you go out of london often (and I don't) the National Railcard is not really worthwhile

By the way, people have mentioned "Registered Disabled" yet I have been told that after the last disabilities act, there isn't such a thing as being "registered Disabled" any longer. Is this true? If not, how does one go about registering as disabled?

Many thanks

I am afraid l cant get it

despite being deaf i dont get dla or a railcard and have not been registered disabled either.

i too would like to know how you go about registering

A couple of points here. My wife receives DLA at the higher rate. My daughter decided they should visit the cinema, I told them to take my wife's "disabled" parking card and ask if there was a concession. The carer was admitted free. If this is so, why pay £5 for a card ?.

Second point, I was originally classed as disable and was given a "green card", this is not so any longer, I still have the same if not more conditions, but as the previous poster said, in this case disability is no more.

YET, my wife IS disabled.

Redmerlot,

I'm confused - you said earlier that you DID get DLA then in your last post you said you didn't. I'm not being funny, I just don't understand?


I don't get the railcard, but do get DLA (the higher rate) and have sent off the form with a copy of my DLA entitlement. It didn't say anything about a railcard. Hope I still get it.

I think you're right but if you were registered disabled in the past then you still are (if that makes sense). so it might be possible to use that as proof for things.

This is great, I work for 'Sense', The Deaf-Blind Charity, & our Service Users will make full use of this card. I'll make sure details are posted in our next newsletter aswell, thank you. ;D
