    Have a look at the rules in the link below and see if any of them apply to you.

    Cerebral Palsy! That's terrible. But you are working. Free travel is available for some people on Disability Benefit – which you can not get, so far as I know, if you are working.

    There are benefits you may be entitled apart from the Medical Card.

    You may be entitled to a rebate of VAT and VRT if you buy a car if there is a physical disability. This makes a huge difference to the cost of motoring.

    You can only get free travel when in receipt of certain SW payments. If your not in a payment you wont get it.
