Blue Badge for all Disabilities not for some.
For the Blue Badge rules to be looked into. Everybody who has a walking difficulty whether acute or minor, which prevents them going out for fear of not being able to park should have access to a blue badge, especially in their pensionable years where they become isolated from society, which triggers mental health problems as well a physical well-being.
Why is this important?
I suffer with peripheral neuropathy (neuropathic pain)and osteoarthritis, amongst other things, that cause me pain to walk. I can barely walk without getting breathless, as the pain is quite severe. I applied for a renew Blue Badge, having had one for over 10 years, but I have been refused one. I’ve sent my neurologist letter to them, and a GP summary of my conditions but they have still refused me.
I use crutches or a walking pole to keep my balance. I have pain every minute every day, and it is a progressive disorder, and dibilitating. I have numbness in my hands,feet, and legs, this comes with tingling and burning sensations, worse when mobile, and at night times when going to bed.
I have now had to stop going out because of fear I can’t park near to my destination, so I’m feeling isolated from society which has affected my mental health and physical well-being.
I’ve spoken to Norfolk County Council,I have filled their forms in, sent all the necessary documents, and I have still been refused a blue badge. Making this petition is a last resort to get enough signatures from all those disabled people out there who have been refused a BLUE BADGE When they have tried to renew, or can’t get one, when their circumstances warrant one.
Hopefully if you sign, could you share with your friends and family, and ask them to share with theirs.
