Disabled PA ticket

[tonibw]

Has anyone every applied for a ticket as a PA to a disabled person before? My mum is disabled and meets all the criteria for applying for the scheme (so my Dad can come and help her out at the festival). She sent all the paper work and stuff off ages ago, so we're wondering how long it normally takes to get a response. The info page on the Glastonbury website doesn't give much information about how long to expect to wait etc.

My mum does need my Dad's help at the festival, there's absolutely no way she would ever be able to go alone because she's physically handicapped, so we're not to worried about him getting turned down as a PA, but it would be nice to know how long she's expected to wait before getting a definite answer!

Any info greatly appreciated

you have to email glastos disabled bit with your reg number and ask and then i think they send you an email you replie with details and then you get a free pa ticket my wife does hers for me and thats how she does it .but do it straight away as some times even those are limited .

ill have my wife look at this and add anything if ive not said it right but im sure this is the way hope this help good luck old son

ask for pa,disabled access info,

you will need to complete form and send it to them with recent letter from dla stating your entitlement to top mobility or middle rate of personal care, think it has to reach them by begiging of may but claire who deals with enquiries very helpful.

Thanks! We sent the forms off in February when the full ticket balance was paid off, send all the DLA stuff etc, but haven't had a reply, so we're just wondering how long it normally takes before we can expect a response.

How long does it take for your wife to hear back from them once the forms have been sent off? Thanks
