If your application is successful most mobility passes are issued for five years. However where your supporting evidence/eligibility has an end date your pass will be issued up to that date.  For example, if your Department of Work and Pensions letter states you get higher rate mobility component of disability living allowance for four months, your mobility pass will be issued for four months.  You would then have to reapply if you arere still eligible.
 
If you receive Disability Living Allowance with the higher rate care component or high rate attendance allowance you will be eligible to have a carer travel with you free of charge.  You must sent us a copy of the letter from the Department of Work and Pensions which confirms the type and level of benefit you are getting.
