Has anyone applied and been given a blue disability card, because of Menieres?
i was thinking of applying for one as I can’t walk far with the awful vertigo I experience.
Shopping is only if I have someone with me.
At the supermarket my husband fetches a trolley to the car and I hang on to it!!
Not sure what the “blue card” is. If you are talking about disability, I’m in the US and applied. Was denied which my lawyer states happens about 95% of the time. To be approved for it in the US you have to have “disturbed function of vestibular labyrinth demonstrated by caloric or other vestibular test; and hearing loss established by audiometry. You need a comprehensive neurologist-otolaryngologist exam. They also require images of the skull and temporal bones. They require at least one of these test. MRI, CT, myelography and radiocnuclear bone scan. If your talking a handicap placard you can get the application off of line and your dr fills it out. It’s a simple process. Hope this helps you.
Yes I did an I park handicap it does help if you have to walk a distance if you out an bout an my family Dr. filled it out an my sister took it to court house
Funnily enough I have just applied online for a blue badge because like you I am virtually housebound unless someone helps me. If I get one at least the car can be parked near the supermarket and the trolleys which are a lifesaver!
I have a blue badge, can't go out on my own. I am really unsteady and use a stick.
I filled in the form and received it straight away. It does appear to be easier in some locations, I live in Hampshire.
I have got to go for an assessment on 31 July to see if I am eligible. Hope I get one because I only go out for hospital or doctors appointments.
