[QUOTE="Lobsang Tsultim, post: 2521705, member: 554942"] The official guidance about who can apply for a blue badge is here: [URL]https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/blue-badge-can-i-get-one/can-i-get-a-blue-badge[/URL] If you receive PIP or DLA payments because of your mobility issues, it’s straightforward. If you don’t, then your eligibility is assessed by your local authority. The NHS does not provide home help. You may be able to get some help with the costs from your local authority. If you receive PIP or DLA, this is given in part to help you afford such services.
