Disability Wales said Lara's is a common story, with more and more people telling the organisation they cannot go out because discounted passes have stopped working, meaning limited funds will not stretch. "The fact that they now have to try and pay full price for their travel, it means they can't afford that, and it means that they're just not going out or they're having to give up something else."Alex Osborne says it should be easier for people to prove they are eligible for discounted services
The Welsh government, which sets travelcard criteria rules, said it is "fully committed to supporting the rights of disabled people in Wales and are working closely with local authorities to ensure assessments are carried out in a timely manner".
