Thanks everyone

Hi Mark, yes you are.

Your automatically entitled if you receive DLA high rate Mobility look on your local authorities website or Google disabled persons bus pass in ??? the area you live.

It sounds like you get everything your entitled to but try the benefit calculator, you enter your details/circumstances and income and it tells you what your entitled to.

Hi, do you also need a blue badge for parking. I think This is great even if you don't drive, you can use it when going out in someone's car?
