    I’d say getting the free travel is a good indicator you were awarded DA , maybe ring Longford and ask , I heard my gov /welfare is slow to update , congratulations (if that’s the right thing to do ) on getting it . I have heard some got the free travel card before getting a letter to say it was awarded . Only thing I know is you only get free travel if you are awarded DA .

    Obviously you applied separately for free Travel ,they would have verified with the DA section that DA was awarded before approving Free Travel ,so I'm confident DA Has been awarded .

    I'm surprised your DA application still showing under review on mywelfare ,applications usually dissappear off mywelfare after 30 days & are worked on in the background.

    Unusual, When I was awarded DA I was advised to apply for free travel & the Household Benefit Seperately.

    Regardless the signs look positive for you.
