Applying for a supplement to the disabled person's pass with or without a token

Read aloud

People with severe disabilities can receive certain benefits and compensation for disadvantages.

For example, if you have a two-color severely disabled person's pass with certain characteristics, you can use this application to apply for a supplementary sheet and a token.

You can then claim the following benefits:

  • free transportation on local public transport or
  • a reduction in vehicle tax

To be able to use free local public transport, you must purchase a token for half a year or a whole year against payment of a personal contribution.

You do not have to pay the personal contribution if you have certain characteristics or receive certain social benefits.

Alternatively, you can apply for a supplement without a token instead in order to receive a reduction in vehicle tax.

People with certain characteristics can use the supplementary sheet with a token to claim both a reduction in vehicle tax and free local public transport.

If your supplementary sheet is damaged or you have lost it, you can apply for a replacement document.

You can apply for the supplementary sheet and token informally at your local pension office.
