    Default Re: Special Needs having to pay for his own transport

    Please Excuse my ignorance with regard to DS and the specific restrictions it puts on the sufferers life

    What I do know is that as I am registered disabled and have severe traumatic brain injury, I am no longer able to drive but they have issued me with a blue badge!

    However, that blue badge along with my disability allows me to have a free bus pass If that is going to be too much for him to cope with, you can always ask them to issue you with bus tokens instead, which can also be used in taxis.

    Hope this might be of some use for you both

    In my opinion I beleive they can charge but only a percentage of the actual cost (If im wrong someone with more knowledge will let you know)

    Where I live (Wales) they charge for transport. My son goes to a day centre and I have to pay for him to be picked up every day.

    Have you tired social services or a charity to see if they can help with the costs?
