I was quite surprised to learn recently that people receiving DLA are entitled to a CEA card which gives free entry for a carer at the cinema. Thought it may be useful info for those who are not aware. Here is the link.

Thankyou alices mum this is really helpful. I cant get up and down the ramps and stairs in the cinema without help so have to have someone with me although rarely go this might encourage my hubby and I to go more often as its so expensive nowadays.
Moderators : Could do with a helpful tips and offers thread at the top with things like this as this will soon be lost.
thanks again Alices mum

Someone asked earlier if you needed to look disabled to get these free cinema tickets, my husband has a heart problem ( Cardio Myopathy) so he dosen't look disabled but has DLA, could he get a ticket, we haven't been to the cinema for years, but would enjoy the outing.
Thank you.0 -
hi
If you get DLA you can apply for a CEA card. If you click on the link it will give you further details. You pay £5 for an annual card and can take someone with you to the cinema for free. Hope that helps.0 -
just downloaded the form.i dont get dla but my husband does,he had a stroke 8 years ago,just a little confused does the person who gets the dla get in for free or is it just the carer.Mig0

The person receiving DLA can take someone for free. hope that helps.0

Thanks for this - i never knew! Considering cinema prices are extortionate nowadays this will be a hug help0

Thank you Alice's mum, I received my Cinema card today, no hassle at all applying for it. I didn't even know it existed until I read your post and was so pleased as when my daughter comes home from Uni she takes me to the pictures as I have no one else to go with so this at least will encourage us to go more as its so expensive. Thank you so much.0

Thanks for the tip. I have just filled in my form and was wondering how quickly they arrive. I know its says 3 weeks but wondered if they came through any quicker??0
