My Grandad who is 76 has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, he struggles with long distance and I was wondering if he is entitled to a blue badge for his car and parking. Any advice or info would be greatly apprciated thank you in advance.
I recently applied for a Blue Badge for my Mum. Go to your council website and there should be a form you can fill in online, or download one. I had to send 2 passport size photos and a payment of £10. You get the money back if your application is not successfulsuccessful.
Age UK also has advice on qualifying for and completing the form.

I found out I had cancer, the nurse specialist at the hospital put me in touch with a Macmillan financial advisor who took some details from me, by the time I came out of hospital the week after she had sorted out my pip payment and I had a free blue badge waiting for me. If you can try and get their help as they have been brilliant for me taking a lot of the stress off me at a time when I didn’t know which way was up. Good luck Diana x
That was pretty much my experience too, which is why I try to signpost people to MacMillan where approriate.
I volunteer with a local disability charity. It is heartbreaking how many people have similar terrible experiences to that of Telemando and his wife. Someone I know (who is severely and very obviously physically disabled) is having her PIP appeal heard in a County Court next month with all the trauma that will involve.
