How to Apply for a Disability Badge

For the disabled people in the United Kingdom, going to the store, doctor's office or place of worship can be a painful and arduous experience without a disability badge. Having a badge enables you to park near the entrance to a building. According to DirectGov, a public service website, some disabled people may automatically qualify for a badge, but most will need to go through an assessment to determine if their mobility is impaired enough to receive a disability badge.
