Living with psoriatic arthritis and osteoporosis

[LstT61]

Is anyone living with both psoriatic arthritis and osteoporosis, how is it affecting your day to day life, work etc, are we able to get a blue badge.

Without knowing a lot more about you it’s difficult to say whether a blue badge could be offered. What medication are you on and how old are you? m or F? My daughter suffers in a similar way to you so I might have some input.

I do not have the arthritis mentioned , but some arthritis can entitle you to blue badge if it effects your mobility, you may need a doctors report though to get it. The same applies to the Osteoporisis. Most things are dependent on how your illness effects your daily ability to do normal tasks or whether you already get a mobility component of benefits. Some unseen illnesses can also entitle you to blue badge even if you don't drive but need trans port or need to take a carer. You do have to pay for a blue badge but the fee only covers administration. And you still have to pay to park in many areas.
