What are the requirements for getting a blue badge?
To obtain a blue badge in Hounslow, certain criteria must be met. The primary requirement is an individual must have a permanent and substantial disability that severely affects mobility. This encompasses physical impairments, cognitive or mental health conditions. The disability should demonstrate difficulty in controlling movements, walking long distances, or accessing public transportation. Furthermore, applicants need to provide evidence of their residency within Hounslow and prove they hold a valid driving license, or, if not driving, provide details about their nominated driver. Documents required include medical records, a recent photograph, and proof of identification. The application form, available online or by contacting the council, must be completed accurately, and any misleading information can result in rejection. The eligibility process ensues, with a fee applicable, to determine if the applicant fulfills the necessary requirements to be issued a blue badge.
