Mobility Allowance and ZTP Card – Eligibility, Amount, and Limitations
When a trip to the post office becomes a full-day journey
“My son has severe autism and epilepsy. Public transport is out of the question, and every trip to the doctor is a major ordeal. We have a car, but the travel costs keep rising. When I heard there’s a mobility allowance, I felt hope — but the office told me he’s not eligible because he doesn’t have a ZTP card. What now?”
I hear stories like this all the time. The mobility allowance is intended for people who face serious transport issues due to health conditions. But simply having a disability isn’t enough — the key requirement is holding a ZTP or ZTP/P card.
If you’re looking for details about the mobility allowance or the ZTP card, you’re in the right place. Here you’ll learn who qualifies, the monthly amount, how to apply, what limitations apply, and what to do if the office says NO. Thousands benefit from this allowance — but many never apply because they don’t know they can.
Who qualifies and how does it work?
What is the mobility allowance?
It’s a monthly benefit provided to people with serious disabilities who struggle to travel independently without help or aids. The benefit is intended to cover transport expenses — especially personal travel (e.g., using a car or being driven).
Amount of the benefit
CZK 900 per month
Paid retroactively each month
No income test — eligibility is binary: yes or no
Who qualifies?
You must meet all the following criteria:
Valid ZTP or ZTP/P card
Issued based on a recognized long-term disability
You travel repeatedly within each calendar month
Not valid for people in institutional care
Permanent residence in the Czech Republic
What is the ZTP card and how to get it?
ZTP (severe disability) and ZTP/P (with attendant) are special benefit cards issued by the Labour Office based on a medical assessment.
The decision is based on medical documentation and a social inquiry report.
You can apply for the card separately or together with a care allowance application.
⚠️ RISKS AND PITFALLS
❌ No ZTP card – you are not eligible for the mobility allowance without this card, even if you have mobility issues
❌ Lack of proof of travel – authorities may require evidence (e.g., doctor visit records) that you actually travel regularly
❌ Institutional stay – if you live in a full-time care facility, you are not eligible
✔️ LAWYER’S RECOMMENDATION
The mobility allowance is not automatic. If the office denied you the ZTP card, I recommend filing an appeal (objection) — and in some cases even a court claim.
📌 I can help you draft the objection, gather documentation, and communicate with the authorities.
I offer services for fixed fees, and the initial consultation can be done online.
