Make Blue Badges Available to People With Mental Health Conditions.

Petition Details

Under current regulations mental health conditions such as agoraphobia, anxiety and panic disorder are not accepted as valid reasons for needing a Blue Badge.
These conditions can be equally and sometimes more debilitating than a physical disability and it is discriminatory to exclude them.

Additional Information

Blue Badges, which allow people with certain disabilities to park closer to services, are only available to those with a physical disability. Those suffering from the above conditions are not able to apply for a badge unless they receive the higher rate of the mobility component of DLA.
The exception is if a person is unable to follow a familiar route without aid.
Mental health conditions can affect mobility and be extremely disabling, preventing a full life. Blue Badges could help with this.
