If your card has a '+1' symbol, this indicates to the driver that you are entitled to have a companion travel free with you on your journey. The companion can only travel when you are travelling and cannot travel for free without you. This symbol gives you the option to have a companion with you but you are also allowed to travel independently if you wish (please note that this only applies to bus travel).
The eye symbol means that the card holder is blind or partially sighted and is also entitled to the National Blind Scheme Concessions.
The green "L" symbol is there to indicate that you may be entitled to other concessions in your local area.
If you are between the ages of 11 to 25 you can also apply to have the Young Scot branding on your disabled National Entitlement Card or can apply for a separate Young Scot card. This will give you access to a whole host of discounts, ranging from eating out to site seeing. For more information about these discounts visit the Young Scot card website.
