FND Ireland welcomes the extension of the Free Travel Scheme on the 29th July 2024.

The scheme is extended to those who are certified as medically unfit to drive for a year or more. This will benefit people living with FND who are unable to drive. Well done to Epilepsy Ireland for their campaign to get the scheme extended. Just like those with epileptic seizures, those with functional seizures may not be deemed fit to drive even though to many this may not be obvious with a hidden disability.
