Usually your GP needs to fill out one page, the person running the trial should fill out the next page and you fill out the rest. Once you’ve done that, you can just submit online claims!
The front page will ‘take’ several trips and you can add a 2nd page if you need to for more trips. You can wait til the end and claim all in the one hit, or do them as you go .... probably less confusing to do the whole lot in one go, I reckon.... You can register and print off the forms here:
