I have applied for my blue badge. I do have the support from my GP and Rhuematologist, lets hope thats enough, walking is just too painful

i took my form to the doctor and she signed it and gave it back to me i attached a copy of the form you get with dla mobility claim as well. i do have chronic degenerertive arthritis heart failure and a few other things wrong...but they were not all listed on my application p

I took my application form into the local service centre at the library my doctor was asked fkr a report and I had my blue badge within a week. Hope you get sorted.

Apply for your Bus-PASS as well if your on dLa and you,ve a blue badge you can apply for a free BUS-PASS as well and travel up and down the country for free. You can get this from your council offices as well.

I was told by council to get a letter form my Dr to go with application, I then had to go for an assessment with an OT at my local hospital. I got my badge in January and the OT's report is so different from the ATOS one I have sent it to the tribunal service to go with my ESA appeal x
