Hearing Aid Wearers Can Claim Travel Passes

At angli-EAR Hearing we’re dedicated to not only improving your hearing but also enhancing your quality of life.

Did you know, if you have hearing difficulties, you may be eligible for money saving passes including:   The Disabled Persons Railcard, Free Bus Pass, and if you need someone to assist you, the National Trust provides a Companion Card scheme.

Disabled Person’s Railcard:

How can you benefit?

This Railcard is a valuable resource that can make your travel experiences more affordable and enjoyable. By simply owning a hearing aid, you qualify for this incredible benefit. Here’s why you should consider applying for one:

1. Enjoy ⅓ Off Adult Rail Fares

With the Railcard, you can save a remarkable one-third on your adult rail fares. Whether you’re commuting for work, visiting family, or planning a day trip, this discount can make a significant difference in your travel expenses.

2. Deals on Meals and Days Out

But that’s not all! Your Railcard also offers discounts on meals, days out, and much more. It’s not just about getting from point A to point B; it’s about making the journey memorable and affordable.

3. A Cost-Effective Investment

The Railcard itself costs only £20, a nominal fee that you can easily recoup after just one or two trips. Think of it as an investment in your future travel experiences.

4. Companion Discount

Travelling with a friend or family member? Your adult companion can also enjoy a ⅓ discount on their rail fare when they accompany you.

5. Annual Savings of £91

Over the course of a year, the average person can save around £91 with this Railcard. Imagine all the additional adventures or treats you can enjoy with those savings!

6. Flexible Usage

You can use your Railcard at any time of the day, making it convenient for both your daily commute and leisurely outings.

7. Long-Term Savings with a 3-Year Railcard

For even more savings, you could consider opting for a 3-year Railcard at just £54. It’s a smart choice for those who plan to travel frequently.

8. Discounts Beyond Train Fares

Not only does the Railcard help you save on train fares, but it also provides discounts at restaurants and hotels. Plus, you have a chance to win fantastic competition prizes!

How to Apply

Applying is a straightforward process. All you need to provide is a copy of your hearing aid prescription along with your railcard application. You can find more information and the application form on their official website: Disabled Persons Railcard Application.

Need a Confirmation Letter? We can help.

If you require a confirmation letter for your application, we’re here to assist you. Simply send us an email, and we’ll provide a letter confirming your hearing aid prescription. Our goal is to make this process as smooth and convenient as possible for you.

It Works!

A client recently emailed us to say: “Thank you for sending the documentation – it worked! I received a Disabled Person’s Railcard and have used it for a trip to London and to book a sleeper on the Caledonian Express. It is a huge advantage over a Senior Railcard, saving about £200 for a return trip for my husband and me!”

Free bus pass and the National Trust Companion Card scheme:

In addition to being eligible for a Disabled Person’s Railcard, if you are registered as profoundly or severely deaf, you may also qualify for a free bus pass, offering even more accessible travel options. Moreover, the National Trust’s Essential Companion Card allows you to bring one or two carers or companions with you free of charge when visiting their properties. Simply present the card at entry for a seamless experience. Even without the card, you can still bring carers or companions free – the card just streamlines the process for you.

So, if you have any questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Your hearing, your adventures, and your savings matter to us.

Safe travels and happy hearing!
