What can my Father claim for was created by Gallyg
Evening. I do not know where to place this. Hope its ok to be here.

My step father is 77. he suffers with a bad back and has very bad knees. This affects his mobility.

He cares for my mother, but I feel he needs to slow it down and maybe get help himself.
One thing that will help him out is a blue badge as the car they have is through my mothers claim. and she holds a blue badge. so he cannot use this if he is out in the car by himself.

Thank you in advance :)

Hi Lorraine

Your step father can apply to his local authority for his own blue badge.

This can be done on-line. He will need various personal details and a means of uploading a passport style photo plus evidence of his disability.

I don’t know what benefits, if any, your mother claims or indeed whether your step father is claiming for any benefits. They may both be eligible for attendance allowance.

I hope this helps

Regards
Pete
