Hi everyone,

I have sent off my DLA form…so fingers crossed! I was just wondering how people got bus passes and a BB without a DLA award, did you get a GP letter to say you could not walk very far?

I’m maybe thinking of going down that route, as my walking is getting worse, my ankles are very stiff and painful, and my knee gives way without any warning…I’m not too bad around the house, but when I go out, it seems to be worse.

Thanks,

Wendyx

When I applied for and got my blue badge (before I applied for DLA) I put the name of my physio down on the form as someone they could contact, she was well aware of how far I could/couldn’t walk and how my mobility had been affected
