Yes, I have got a blue badge because of the painful joints, giddiness and inability to walk far before being totally pooped.

Was it difficult to obtain ?

[Cbreeze0182 in reply to Spirit123]

At first but I kept demanding one. I was only getting the red temporary one that only last 6 months. Now I have the permanent one.

It depends on your disability not your diagnosis really, the criteria has always been "Unable or virtually unable to walk" which is a bit vague I know. If you are having a lot of trouble getting around then go for it as it could greatly help.

As from the end of August 2019 people with hidden disabilities are able to apply for a Blue Badge.

Check on your council website. It will tell you if you are /maybe eligible for a badge by answering the questions on the Blue Badge page.
