The great DWP railcard mystery

ImageHave you seen this card before? I’d be very surprised if you had because the DWP have made almost no effort to tell you it exists. You are able to claim if you have been unemployed for six months or more without referral to the catastrophic work programme (9 months for 18-24 year olds and 12 months for over 25s).
