Blue Badge Applications
Since the National Blue Badge non-visible (hidden) disability changes were introduced on 30th August 2019, Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) has seen a 10% increase in overall applications. 1000 of these were non-visible (hidden) applications.
During the assessment of non-visible (hidden) applications, HCC has found that those approved, and which met the criteria, were amongst customers with ‘moderate to severe’ cases of the following conditions:
| *Child conditions |
*Adult Conditions |
| Autism |
Dementia |
| ADHD |
Learning Difficulties |
| Learning difficulties |
Psychological distress |
| Anxiety |
Colitis |
| Down Syndrome |
COPD |
*Please note the above list is not exhaustive
Having a certain condition does not automatically entitle someone to a Blue Badge. Customers must provide supporting documentation from a professional with their Blue Badge application.
