I am over the age of two and have a permanent and substantial disability which means that I have very considerable difficulty in walking
I drive a vehicle regularly, and have a severe disability in both arms that means I am unable to operate all or some types of parking meter

And these do not apply to us, as we are not permanently disabled.

I did defy all the rules at Tesco though and used their disabled parking as it was nearer the store, even the store manager told me to so that I didn't have to struggle too much, they also offered me a whel-chair or a motorised buggy.

Don't know what pip is but got the blue badge only because of hip replacement.
I listed all the painkillers i was taking and said i could walk zero feet without pain. They rang me and when i said i had been referred for a hip replacement they sent me a badge
Take care

They've given it to me for 5 years though, and I know I don't need it for that long. I hope I don't anyway!

Unfortunately after 3 ops and hip problems and I have difficulties walking plus chronic pain, I now have a blue badge permanently.
The badge is usually given if you have walking difficulties and cannot walk without pain.
I would fill in the forms,not sure if you need your gp to fill part of it.
Hope you get sorted x holly
