Awaiting or recovering from surgery or treatment

If you have had surgery within the past three months we won't consider your application unless surgery is not expected to have improved your walking ability.

If you are awaiting surgery or treatment, and expect this to improve your walking ability you should give the date you expect to have surgery on your application form.

What if you don’t qualify?

If you don't qualify then find out about options for people with mobility problems on our accessible transport pages.
