One group which, as far as I can see, is particularly hit by the new
structure is that of pensioners who can use their Freedom Pass after 9
a.m. but need to pay the high cash rates when traveling to earlier
hospital and other medical appointments.

I know of at least three people with Freedom passes who also hold
Oyster Cards and use them for journeys before 9am. Two of them even
have auto-top up activated.

If you are sufficiently disabled they give you a freedom pass encoded to
allow travel before 9am anyway.
