Blue badge scheme

A quick question, I was diagnosed with AF and heart failure 7 years ago and as time has gone by my mobility has decreased due to breathlessness after mild exertion. My family advise me to apply for a blue badge due to the condition. Has anyone else gone down this route and been successful?

Hi Droopy

I had a blue badge from diagnosis & found it really helpful.

Im sure you will qualify esp as your symptoms have got worse. It always pays to apply & see what happens, they can only say No!

To apply just type 'blie badge scheme' into your browser, here it is...gov.uk/apply-blue-badge

Good luck!
