Simple answer...at the moment you can't!
how do i add a disabled persons railcard to a credit/debit card used to touch in and touch out on london transport?
From copilot AI
You cannot currently add a Disabled Persons Railcard to a contactless credit or debit card for use on London transport. To receive the discount, you must link your Railcard to an Oyster card.
Here's how it works and what you can do:

One additional benefit of a disabled railcard is 50% off River Roamer fares on the Uboat Thames clippers in London.
How do you add a disabled Persons railcard to your credit/debit card that you'd touch in/out with please? Or do you have to use an Oyster card - which I thought TfL were trying to phase out in favour of touch in/out with payment cards?

Does the Data Protection Act come in somewhere. I know at least one local council that cannot use the electoral register for other council purposes; e.g. notifying change of bin collections. Might be different interpretations. Also is disability classified as a protected characteristic? Which could be another reason for not sharing.

A ENCTS issued outside London or a senior railcard will not be accepted.
I asked this question yesterday
Is a disabled railcard or senior bus pass eligible for the 50% discount on the day hop on/hop off ticket please?
Clipper Bot says:
If you have a Disabled Person Railcard, you’re good to go for a 50% discount on all our tickets, including the Hop-on Hop-off ticket.
A Senior Bus Pass isn’t listed as eligible for this discount, so unfortunately, it won’t get you the 50% off.

Er, because the Senior Railcard people don't know you now have a Disabled Person's Railcard.
It's my understanding that DSB Railcards are administered seperately from other railcards. They used to have a seperate office in Arbroath, but it now appears their physical address is the same as most other railcards. I'd hazard a guess they are still administered seperately though as DSB Railcards require evidence of entitlement from third party agencies.

Dear Mr Ellis,
Your Senior Railcard has expired!
You need to act fast to keep saving 1/3 on rail travel.

Yes, my Senior Railcard has expired. I now have a disable person's railcard. Why are you emailing me with what I believe to be incorrect advice, and suggest I spend on a card that's no additional use to me with a threat of loosing discount?
