Good morning everyone. I have just looked at the qualifying criteria for blue badges and wondered if any of you would share advice your experience.

i receive full Attendance Allowance because of my terminal diagnosis but understand this alone does not make me eligible for a blue badge.

I do experience breathlessness and pain when walking relatively short distances. Has anyone successfully applied for a blue badge based on their cancer symptoms or long term effects of cancer treatment?

thank you in advance

Hi Rosiee, I have a blue badge but although I have an incurable bone marrow cancer I also have various other illnesses so my blue badge isn't given purely because of my cancer.

It's clear that you do have a disability or disabilities so you would need to fill in a form to apply for a blue badge. Now, MacMillan can assist you with that so if you ring their helpline you will get all the assistance you need to apply for a blue badge. I have heard that they are excellent in that respect.

The helpline number is

0808 808 00 00

Good luck Rosiee
