View answerIn relation to the customer concerned, the Chief Medical Adviser (CMA) has carefully reviewed her application for Free Travel Companion Pass including all medical evidence and additional evidence received from the customer's GP today.
The CMA has conveyed his medical opinion to Free Travel Section who will be in contact with the customer within the next couple of days.
I trust this clarifies the position at this time.
