Thanks - so is the best way to explain to the council what happened and hope they replace it? Or just phone that number to get replacement. Do you need to give reasons ?

Hi, Wondering if anyone can help me. My son accidentally used my freedom pass last month and was stopped by inspectors who confiscated the pass. He has managed to settle out of court with TFL who have advised him that I need to apply for a new pass as the old one is retained on file. How do i actually do this -- start the application process from scratch? or apply for a replacement (but here reasons given are lsot, stolen or damaged no none apply?). if i start from scratch wont they see i have had one issued anyway? I genuinely was not aware that my son had taken my pass. Can someone advice on how/if i can get my pass back? thanks
