If you have a Blue Badge you can register for a 100% discount so you will not have to pay the charge.
For more information, phone 0845 900 1234 or see the congestion charging website at www.cclondon.com. Certain NHS employees and patients can claim back 100% of the congestion charge, including cancer patients receiving treatments.
The 100% refund (paid back by the NHS) only applies for vehicles used by certain patients going to NHS appointments (including GP appointments) in the charging zone.
To be eligible patients must:
-
have a compromised immune system or
-
need regular assessment or therapy eg chemotherapy or need recurrent surgery and be clinically assessed as too ill, weak or disabled to travel
to an appointment using public transport.
You, or the person driving you, will have to pay the congestion charge. You can then claim back the charge from the transport department of the NHS hospital, clinic, or GP's surgery where you receive treatment. It is very important that you keep your receipt to show that you have paid the congestion charge so you can claim your refund.
