Registering as disabled

Registration is voluntary and entitles you to some concessions from other organisations, particularly for leisure activities and travel. To be registered as disabled you need to have a permanent and substantial disability.

Registration is for a period of five years only unless you are blind or partially sighted. If you wish to maintain your registration beyond five years, please contact us again. Your expiry date will be on your card.

If you are disabled you can ask for an assessment to decide whether you can be registered as disabled with Adult Services, however you do not have to be registered as disabled to be eligible for services. Registration does not automatically mean that you will qualify for services from Adult Services.
