Applying for a supplement to the disabled person's pass with or without a token
If you are severely disabled, you can use local public transport free of charge or receive a vehicle tax reduction under certain conditions.
Description
People with severe disabilities can receive certain benefits and compensation for disadvantages.
For example, if you have a two-color severely disabled person's pass with certain characteristics, you can use this application to apply for a supplementary sheet and a token.
You can then claim the following benefits:
- free transportation on local public transport or
- a reduction in vehicle tax
To be able to use free local public transport, you must purchase a token for half a year or a whole year against payment of a personal contribution.
You do not have to pay the personal contribution if you have certain characteristics or receive certain social benefits.
Alternatively, you can apply for a supplement without a token instead in order to receive a reduction in vehicle tax.
People with certain characteristics can use the supplementary sheet with a token to claim both a reduction in vehicle tax and free local public transport.
If your supplementary sheet is damaged or you have lost it, you can apply for a replacement document.
You can apply for the supplementary sheet and token informally at your local pension office.
