I was in a similar position some time back, and was issued a bus pass because of my legs & sciatic problems; when I reached 60, the bus pass renewal was as a senior, rather than disabled. Now (fast approaching 62) I can't use my senior bus pass until after 9am in my own town (except at weekends) - I now suffer from angina, and if my bus pass was a disabled, as opposed to Senior card, I could use it any time. It's all an uphill struggle, but at least I'm on Pension Credit now, which is more money. I'll have to work on it....
