Who is it for?

You can get a Veterans Oyster photocard if you:

Receive ongoing payments under the War Pensions Scheme in your name. This includes widows, widowers and dependants
Receive Guaranteed Income Payment under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme in your name. This includes widows, widowers and dependants

Ongoing payments are awarded to service personnel who've sustained a certain level of physical or psychological injury in the line of duty. If you received a one-off gratuity payment instead, you can't get a Veterans Oyster photocard.

You also can't get a Veterans Oyster photocard if you live in a London borough and are eligible for a 60+ London Oyster photocard or Freedom Pass.

Nice photo of Ollie, by the way!!
