About the Blue Badge Scheme
Other people who may qualify for a Blue Badge
If you do not automatically qualify, you may need to be assessed by your local authority.
Anyone over two years old may be eligible for a Blue Badge, if they either:
have a permanent and substantial disability which means they cannot walk, or makes walking very difficult
drive a motor vehicle regularly and have a severe disability in both arms, making it very difficult or impossible to operate parking meters
Special rules for children under three years old
If you’re a parent of a child who is younger than three years old, you may also apply for a Blue Badge. Your child must have a specific medical condition which means that they either:
must always be accompanied by bulky medical equipment which is very difficult to carry around
need to be kept near a vehicle at all times to get emergency treatment for a condition when necessary
