The person concerned had an entitlement to a Free Travel Pass which was linked to their Disability Allowance payment. The entitlement of the person concerned to Disability Allowance ceased in February 2018 and they had commenced employment.
Under my Department's Make Work Pay initiative, the person concerned was entitled to retain their entitlement to Free Travel for a period of 5 years after taking up employment. This 5 year period has now ended and the person's Free Travel has accordingly been stopped.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
