Who else can get a Blue Badge

If you do not automatically qualify for a Blue Badge you can still apply.

You can apply for a Blue Badge if you:

  • cannot walk
  • find walking very difficult
  • are at risk in traffic
  • have a disability in both arms that stops you using ticket machines
  • are under 3 years old and either need to:
    • get medical treatment at short notice 
    • keep bulky medical equipment close to you

Check if you can get a Blue Badge at GOV.UK.

At risk in traffic

You cannot qualify as ‘at risk in traffic’ if you can drive. This only applies if you would be using a Blue Badge as a passenger.
