The below Parliamentary question was asked by Daniel Zeichner on 2016-02-22.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of people applying for a Blue Badge affected by (a) Alzheimer’s disease, (b) myalgic encephalomyelitis and (c) autism were successful in the latest period in which figures are available.

Local authorities administer the Blue Badge scheme and the Department does not hold this information. People with any disability may qualify for a badge if they have very considerable difficulty walking.
