An application for a Free Travel Companion Pass was received from the person concerned in September 2022. This application was forwarded to the Department's Medical Advisor for decision.
The Department's Medical Advisor has found that a Free Travel Companion Pass is warranted on the basis of the medical evidence supplied.
The person concerned has been awarded the Companion Free Travel and has been notified in writing of the decision. The person concerned should receive, within 7-10 days, a new Public Services Card which will indicate that they have an entitlement to a Free Travel Companion Pass.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
