does anyone know if asthma entitles you to a blue badge?

What type of asthma and what does it restrict the person doing. My father had one type of Asthma and was given a blue badge.

hi,

Thanks for the replies. I have a blue badge and i have asthma, and didn't really realise until now that its not automatic.

I have had it since i was born (am now 24) and it does effect the distance i can walk without having to use my inhaler, especially in the damp and cold (so winter generally).

I was just wondering as it runs out a year in May, and i was originally given this when i lived in Lincolnshire, but now i live in London so i wondered whether their criteria would be different. I suspect it will be!

Thanks.
