The UK has expanded eligibility for the disability discount card to include people diagnosed with ADHD, granting a one-third discount on train tickets. The number of cardholders has surpassed 450,000, up from 200,000 in 2016. The move has sparked criticism amid concerns of exploitation.

The UK has expanded eligibility for the disability discount card to include people diagnosed with ADHD. This means a one-third discount on local train tickets for the cardholder and their companion. The expansion was made possible after the British National Health Service defined ADHD as a neurodevelopmental condition, and a change in eligibility rules at the end of September. The number of cardholders has crossed the 450,000 mark this year, a dramatic increase from 200,000 in 2016. The move has sparked public and political criticism amid concerns of abuse. A local member of parliament warned of an industry of 'Sickfluencers' teaching how to exploit the system. In response, the railway representative clarifies that eligibility is assessed based on the condition's impact on mobility, not a closed list of diagnoses. Background: British taxpayers subsidize railways by about £12 billion annually.
