I started a new job at the start of the year, at the moment I drive but the office is on the local train line and I have been looking at potentially catching the train as some evenings I am exhausted and when tired I have had double vision in the past… But looking on their regulations to getting the discounted travel I would need proof of various documentation, none of which I have! Help please x

With London underground they offer the Freedom card think it also works with buses.
I never bothered with it when I was working because there is a clause you cant use it at rush hour only after 9am etc.
Got the Kia Soul now so no need for one.
Hi
Get in touch with Access to Work. They’re a DWP department that help people with disabilities to work, and can provide funding if necessary. The way they help me is to pay for a taxi to & from work every day, which is a massive blessing. So they could hopefully pay for your daily commute, whether that’s by taxi or train.

Sorry - didn’t mean to go anon or offline for ages after posting! To answer the questions, currently my symptons are not serious enough to apply for any benefits… obviously I don’t want to get worse either which is why I would like the help now. The Railcard rules though are very strict and request you are receiving the higher level of DLA (PIP) - very fustrating.
