My child has been diagnosed with perthes, he is so brave but effects him as he can’t do what other children do.
Can someone offer me advise on blue badge and if there is any help we can get with money ?

For a blue badge than this will totally depend on the criteria of your local council. Check the criteria here.

Did you not get any other help when you got the diagnosis?
Contact the local social work office and ask about getting a social worker who will be able to help with some of the issues.0 -
OP, the Perthes Association should be able to give you support and advice on what help is available.0
