- of 'pensionable age' from 6 April 2010 onwards - information on eligibility for bus passes
- aged five years or over, and are disabled

Am I eligible for the taxi voucher scheme?
To apply for the taxi voucher scheme, you must be:

- aged 18 or over
- unable to use a bus - you will need to provide a letter from your doctor stating this or provide proof that you get the higher rate of the mobility component of disability living allowance
- be prepared to forgo having a national bus pass - you are not entitled to both a bus pass and taxi vouchers
If you are eligible, you will receive a limited number of taxi vouchers to use over the period of one year. If you would like further details about the taxi vouchers scheme, please call (01273) 291924.
