    Interesting one and thankyou @BigDave for your comment, It may prove to be most helpful.

    My daughter currently goes to and from school in transport procured by the local authority (taxi). It is becoming more obvious that she will loose this tansport may well be by next September not due to her disability but her behaviour (ASD) Now if they refused transport soley on her disability it would be classed as discrimination. Given she also has ASD social interaction etc which can but not always cause’s behaviour.

    I could take her as a parent would a normal child and get paid as the “crow flys” in petrol money because of her diability andASD.

    My prefered way would be set up some form of taxi business soley to take my daughter to and from school and be paid as other transport companies £60 – £70 per day for doing this.

    If as @martinhod implied “the above statement implies if you could justify the use by the disabled person for the well being of the disabled ie so the disabled person benefited from any income ect” If correct not only would my daughter benefit from additional income but also no chance of refusal of transport.

    Sorry @martinod gatecrashing your thread.
