I've got my blue badge penny. It doesnt matter what your illness's are its entirely based on how far/well you walk and how much pain it causes you.

Apply for it, they can but say no. I had to go see a lady who assesed my walking and I got it within about a fortnight.

Good luck. xxx

Ps, I got mine before I even applied for DLA. xx

I think it's solely based on your GPs opinion it doesn't matter what benefits or illnesses you've got. You apply, they get in touch with GP and if your Dr thinks you need one you'll get one. If you're not a regular visitor to Dr it might be worthwhile getting Drs appointment and explaining to Dr that you've applied for blue badge and why you need it.
