Blue badges are for mobility problems and it makes no difference whether you work or not. So worth applying for.

I used to work with a girl who had had most of her lower leg bone removed and replaced due to bone cancer, and she had a blue badge whilst she was at work. She had a profound limp and found walking painful, so she found that it helped her to stay in work - definitely give it a go.

Blue Badges should be automatically awarded if you are in receipt of HRM/DLA. As DLA is an "in work" benefit then being in work shouldn't stop you getting one on other mobility grounds.

Hello - we used to live in the East of the country and had a brill doc who insisted

I have a Blue Badge. I only used it when I was having a really bad day and was

careful not to if I was not too bad. We recently moved to the West coast and my

badge is due for renewal soon. Hope my new doc is sympathetic to the level of

pain as I cannot walk much due to the pain. Hope this answers your question. Just

because you'r not wheelchair bound doesn't mean that you'r not in terrible pain.

Not what you're looking for?
