Re: Government ‘has stripped Paralympians of their Motability vehicles’
Why do people on £50k claim child benefit, why should childless couples pay for other people's children. Does it all really matter either way, if you meet a criteria then you are entitled. It's down to the individual if you want to put a claim in or not.

I don't have Dave's contact details and I don't think he's on this forum, so I'm asking Ken.

True, as usual it is the system that is wrong. Another reason why our social security budget is sky high because of benefits such as this being dished out to people that don't need them.

To get the blue badge one needs to get the higher rate of the mobility component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA).

As the child was severely lacking in mobility. IIRC They had to be carried around, so that is what they would have got.

Yes l have just done some research and l gather that was the case with their very young disabled child as generally apart from certain cases the usual criteria would apply.

Maybe or maybe not, he would have been eligible for the Blue badge even without a DLA award.

It was certainly on mine Ken as they stated that l had to send in proof that l was on the higher mobility rate.

I think that if you are in receipt of higher mobility rate you qualify for a Blue Badge, if you are not in receipt of higher mobility rate and have severe walking problems and pass a walking assessment you can be issued with a Blue Badge.

Re: Government ‘has stripped Paralympians of their Motability vehicles’
higher rate gets you a blue badge with out checks but you can still get one with out it you sometimes will need to be assessed though often they will go with a doctors opinion. it does vary from area to area. there was a consultation deciding if they should issue temporary ones for things that wont last long but are temporarily disabling. https://www.gov.uk/government/consul...r-a-blue-badge

Statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital ( Professor Aaron Levenstein).
