A disabled supporter has to receive DLA (disabled living allowance) to qualify, firstly for a concessionary ticket then, depending on the level of DLA, whether a carer is needed.
Points will be awarded for the Care Component and the Mobility Component of DLA.
5 point`s will be awarded for the Higher rate, 3 points for the medium rate and 1 point for the low rate.
If a disabled fan has 5 point`s or more(up to 10), then they would qualify for the disabled concession ticket (if available) and they would be able to be accompanied by a personal assistant at no extra cost.
Disabled fans with 4 points would qualify for the concession ticket but not a ticket for a personal assistant.
Disabled fans with 3 points or less,do not qualify for a concession ticket, although they can request that their seat is in an accessible area.
(My son's was £305 this season with the early bird discount and is classed as a 10 on the scale) and a carer's ticket free.
Quite coincidentally, I have a meeting with the chairman of LUDO (Leeds United Disabled Organisation) on Monday in regards to non-disabled friends of members using the Eddie Gray suite at half time (who are brought in at half time by disabled members (some really take the michael)) then other disabled members can't get in.
My lad and I haven`t been able to get in there this season >:( I for one am happy with the changes, so hard luck 'Yellow Peril'.
It`s also given me a bonus as the fecker who sat behind me last season and had his two kids with him and did nothing but moan all game long, isn`t there this season!
