That's the idea behind them but it seems that these days you don't need a blue badge to park in disabled bays
All I can say is that if you or a member of your family needs a badge due to not being mobile or being unable to walk long distances without suffering unbearable pain then go for it. Our parents/ family members pay into the system all their working lives, they should at very least be able to go to the shops/ doctors/ hospital etc and be able to park close to their destination. Mobility is something we all take for granted until it's taken away from us
