Got my blue badge assessment today with a lovely lady who dealt with me and explained things very well. It ended with her saying that on the day I didn’t meet the criteria for getting a blue badge. She seemed to have a good knowledge of MS and accepted that my condition fluctuates and that she got me on a “good day”. Although it wasn’t what I wanted to hear as I’ve had a badge for 6 years now and losing it would be a disaster for me it was, in a very weird way, nice to speak to a normal person with a heart that was being forced to play by the rules i.e. this bloody 20m rule. My only hope is she writes this is in her report and whoever makes the decision acknowledges the fact it was a good day and not one the majority bad days I have. I’ve forgotten her name already but I would like to thank her publically for listening to me and being so understanding and honest about her findings. I will be absolutely gutted if I get refused so fingers and toes crossed although I’m not holding up much hope. Thanks for reading and I hope everyone out there getting one of these assessments gets someone like I did today.
