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 live in Hertfordshire and applied for a blue badge on Tuesday the 7/03/2019.
My application was approved Thursday the 9/03/2019 and paid for.
My badge is now being posted to me.
The form for Hertfordshire on line was very easy to completely. I took the Terminally ill option and included the consultants latest letter to my gp re tumour size and position and the pain I am in when gaining access to my car in standard parking bays.
At this stage of chemo for T30 n2 tumour in rectum, and T20 n0 in three places in my bowel I am on a “curative “ route dependant on chemo, chemo/radiotherapy, further chemo and possible operation if all goes to plan. It will be palliative care otherwise.
Even after my operation I have been advised that chemo will be required for 6 months or more... So my route is about 12 to 18 months in total from being diagnosed.
I will have a stoma for life so aim to reapply for mine in the future on the same basis, due the planned high position of my stoma and contact with car door etc.
