Access Card Avaliações 593

Kind and informative. Questioned me where needed and were prompt to reply.
Overall positive experience - I am very appreciative of the service they offer.

Great service from start to finish. Really quick turnaround and very helpful staff.

This was the first time I ever applied for anything like this I called London coliseum for tickets to a show and was asked if I had a card for a disability and was quickly told about this and was helped straight away I received a email from yourselves. It was so straight forward email my information and three days i got a response and received my code great service and made so easy

The application process is not transparent, neither is it reasonable. Despite providing evidence that I receive the higher rate of PIP, my application was refused. You are required to submit a large amount of highly personal information; none that I have been asked for from venues when booking with a proof of PIP.

I note, Access Card has responded to a previous entry here, that they always work with the applicant to progress their application. Sadly not so in my case.

It is one thing to be disabled, it is quite another to be discriminated against by a company that claims to be supportive of the disadvantaged.

I received a refund then a request for more information here, or my review would be removed. Are only positive experiences worthy of documenting?

Application was easy, they listed the relevant paperwork needed at the start. I was given more than I was currently asking for but they had the foresight to include things that I will need rather sooner than I’m hoping.
They kept me informed while my application was being processed.
I have yet to use it but for my friend who has one it opened up his life.
It was reasonably priced.

Refusing to accept my doctors letter as proof, wouldn’t give me a card that had my needs on it. A complete waste of money, time. And so stressful.

The response time was extremely quick, which is definitely a positive. The concept of the Access Card is great and has a lot of potential to help disabled people. However, I do question how they come to some of their decisions. Despite providing detailed information and evidence of my conditions, the outcome didn’t seem to fully reflect my needs or the support I already receive in other settings. I think more transparency in the assessment process would make the experience feel more fair. I was denied the plus one part as they said they did not have enough evidence to support that requirement.

I applied for a renewal over a month ago, emails were taking nearly a week to get a response, I had lost one of the pages from my PIP, but despite telling them my needs had not changed, I wasn't getting anywhere. In the end, I called and spoke to a guy called John, he was courteous, empathetic and understood straight away the issue, 5 mins later, all sorted.

Thank you John, you restored my faith in the scheme.

Excellent service! Very quick review of my application and email back with confirmation containing all the necessary information.

Very quick processing and prompt reply to email.

Cannot fault this service, my enquiry and application complete within a couple of hours.

I’m absolutely shocked by how this company handled my situation. Despite providing DLA evidence and a letter from a healthcare professional, my request for a +1 for my 3-year-old was refused. Other places accept DLA for this, so I feel disadvantaged and discriminated against simply because of my child’s age.

I’m angry and extremely disappointed — this company claims to support people with additional needs, yet has shown no compassion or understanding. I’ll be cancelling my application and requesting a refund. Truly let down by an organisation that should know better.

Having an expiry date is ridiculous for most. The disability for the majority of us will never go away.
It's just make money from the disabled.

Very straightforward application process, immediate acknowledgement with clear instructions and processed within a few days.

Answered my emails swiftly. Helpful and polite, I have difficulty expressing my needs but they seemed to understand what I needed thank you neil

Found it very difficult to get my card and it took over 30 days after they took the money and had it authorised.
Takes to long to answer any emails enquirys

The application process is totally DISGUSTING. It is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE TO ENTER DATE OF BIRTH. I spent at least an hour on my phone trying to tap back from 2025 to 1931 and then when I pressed Set it went back to 2025.
On my laptop date of birth comes up as 0031 and then says invalid. I also tried to phone and after hanging on to a recorded message and terrible music after 20 minutes the recording told me it couldnt help anyone and cut off. I am DISGUSTED with the entire system. No one can help and it is supposed to be easy not difficult.

I found the questions easy enough to answer, and it’s nice there isn’t a maximum character limit as part of my condition I do tend to over explain. I did make a mistake on my child’s personal details and found it easy enough to email these over and then followed this up with a call to the helpline and spoke to a wonderful, patient and kind lady called Liz who walked me through everything, fixed my error while constantly assuring me and supporting me and explaining the different symbols on the phone and was just generally a thoughtful kind lady who understood and I can see is such an asset to the Access Team. So happy it was Liz that answered my call as I felt a weight lifted after our chat, where I was panicking about it beforehand.

Was easy to fill the application form and I had help from one of the customer helped me with some questions. My son will be happy with this card now thanks very much.
