Blue Badge Scheme

Blue badge

The Blue Badge scheme provides a range of parking benefits for disabled people who travel either as drivers or as passengers.

You can apply for a badge if you:

  • are receiving the higher rate of the Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance
  • are receiving a War Pensioner’s Mobility Supplement
  • use a motor vehicle supplied by a government health department
  • are a registered blind person
  • you have a permanent disability, which means you are unable to walk or have considerable difficulty in walking. In this case you may be asked to answer a series of questions and a form will be sent out to your doctor to help the local authority determine whether you are eligible for a badge. People with a psychological disorder will not normally qualify unless their impairment causes very considerable and not intermittent difficulty in walking.

Please note: Children under two years of age do not qualify for a badge because they would not normally be expected to walk independently.

For more information about applying for a Blue Badge please contact Lyn at the Pembrokeshire Cancer Support Office on 01646 683078 (and he will print out and send the frequently asked questions section) or go to www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk

Details of your rights under the scheme, as well as some restrictions are contained in the DETR Blue Badge Scheme Advisory Leaflet
