Disabled railcard

I'm going to apply for disabled railcard.
Can anyone tell me how long it took for them to send them one?
I'm worried I've left it too late now!

i got mine instantly delivered to my phone via the app - is that an option for you?

Oh right I didn't realise you could do that.

Is it easy to do it that way?

Super easy. As the person above says you can have it sent to your phone.

Are you a wheelchair user @purpleme12? If you are there is another discount available called D50 that gets you 50% of an anytime ticket and you don’t need a railcard. The anytime tickets are more expensive than the ones you can use a railcard with though

As an aside anyone with hearing aids qualifies too for the disabled railcard

I'm not sure mine was instant as I had to send my PIP form off, but it was quite quick with the digital app card.
