Will the Home Office pay for transport to attend appointments?

You must let your accommodation provider know at the earliest opportunity if you need help with transport costs to attend medical appointments and registrations of births.

For journeys more than 3 miles, there is a pre-travel approval process for funded public transport. Should approval be given, you will either be issued with a public transport ticket or funds for public transport will be added to their ASPEN Card.

Accommodation providers are required to give you support through provision of bus & train routes/timetables to support you in making that journey.

There is also provision for journeys of less than three miles to be publicly funded in exceptional circumstances and these, along with any use of taxis, will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
