Blue Badge criteria changing

Hi all, Just to let you know from the end of August the criteria is changing for getting a Blue Badge. The Dept for Transport have issued new guidance for local authorities on GOV.UK which now enables people with a 'hidden disability' to potentially receive one. For me I would fit this criteria better because it takes into account not just the physical, but also the psychological difficulties you face. It seems far more suitable for addressing the diverse needs of people with disabilities. I just hope I can get one through this route. Thought this might be useful news for some of you x
