How
to apply
If you are under 60 and live in
London, or are any age and live in the areas just
outside London where TfL services operate: You will automatically
be sent an application pack so that you can apply for a Veterans
Concessionary Travel Scheme (VCTS) Oyster photocard.
If
you are 60 and over and live in London:
From 2 January 2009 your Older Person's Freedom Pass will give
you the same travel concession as that provided by the VCTS pass.
If you want to apply for a VCTS Oyster photocard from November
2008, please note that it will only be valid until 2 January 2009.
If
you live outside London:
If you have not been sent an application pack please
contact our
helpline on 0845 331 9872*.
You will be sent an application form which you should complete
and return with:
A photocopy of your
Awards Notification or annual uprating letter from the Service
Personnel and Veterans Agency (SPVA), showing your entitlement
to an ongoing payment under the War Pensions Scheme or Armed
Forces Compensation Scheme.
A passport size photo
Expiry
The VCTS concession will be valid until 30 May 2012. If you live
in London and are nearly 60 years old, the concession will expire
one month after your 60th birthday. Once you turn 60, you will
be able to get an Older Person's Freedom Pass which provides the
same travel benefits as the VCTS Oyster photocard.
