Freedom Pass Renewal

A friend has received a form asking her to renew her Freedom Pass which expires in March 2015. She receives high rate mobility component of DLA and has ticked this as an eligability criteria.
I am also a holder of a Freedom Pass (in a different borough from my friend)which expires in March 2015. I originally applied in 2008 and got a supporting letter from my GP. I am in receipt of DLA with a low rate mobility component and I am in the ESA support group. I am worried that instead of a straightforward renewal where an updated card is issued (as it was in 2010) I will like my friend be asked to fill in a new form and give fresh evidence for my eligability. My GP has since retired and new GP's are all locum's.
I have mislaid my original Freedom Pass application form and I am wondering if you can provide a guide to filling in a Freedom Pass form especially the section that asks about walking eg how far can I walk and how many minutes it takes. My main issues are mental ill health which amonst other symptoms causes me disabling fatigue and exhaustion and my energy levels are variable. Also can mental ill health be a sole criteria for eligability for a Freedom Pass?
Thank you.

Hi dr,

Many thanks for your reply. I had already looked at the website you recommended and I am still left with the worry about how to word the re-application form should I be asked to re-apply to renew my Freedom Pass.
I have contacted the Freedom Pass number but they are very unhelpful and would again kindly ask if you have any guides to help fill in a Freedom Pass renewal form. Or have any other members had to recently renew thier Disabled Persons Freedom Pass and what was the outcome and did they have to re-apply giving fresh medical evidence for eligibility?
Thank you

Much gratitude for your prompt reply. Will look at the link you have given.
Again many thanks for your help.
