I can't find out anywhere online and I don't want to ring them because I have a fear talking on the phone :P
So was wondering if anyone here had been and knew :)

You can check the criteria of eligibility on your local council from here

https://www.gov.uk/blue-badge-scheme-in ... on-council

If you receive the mobility part of PIP then you're more likely to be accepted, beyond that it'll probably involve some kind of assessment or they'll at least need to know how your PIP assessment went.

If you don't like speaking on the phone yourself then see if you can get a friend or relative to make the call for you.
