I’m not sure about car travel but can she claim carer’s allowance? I get a free bus pass from my council and it’s just one bus to the hospital.
So I may be able to get help with these costs as I am on PIP?
Have you asked whether you would qualify for patient transport?
Contact the hospital, it used to be called the Lady Almoners department. Maybe ask PALS, at the hospital, or the cashiers office.
If you can show that you are in receipt of Benifits take proof of appointment to the cashier at the hospital and they will pay so much per mile.
I think if you are on the higher rate of PIP she may be able to claim carers allowance.
