I'm not being funny, but that's how it should be (difficult to get, not stressful). They shouldn't be handing them out to any old sod, but equally they shouldn't be so difficult that people who need them can't get them.

I don't know what your situation is, but say you had a good job you are able to afford the ticket, then I honestly don't think you should be entitled to a free bus pass. 

Also, with what I'm suggesting there wouldn't need to be any assessments beyond what is already in place, ie. being on Universal Credit, Pension Credits, or any legacy benefit. 

To me, it comes down to whether you need the financial support to be able to travel, as I said further up I think it should be treated as benefit and nothing more.
