    Can anyone tell me if you are able to apply for a blue disabled badge when you are diagnosed with MM? Regards Matthew

    Morning Matthew,
    Basically, it depends on your ability to walk. If your Myeloma is affecting you in this way then it goes towards you being eligible for a Blue Badge. Having Myeloma alone is not a blank cheque in getting one. Hope this helps.

    Regards,
    Robert

    Hi Matthew
    Give your local authority a ring. After waiting for weeks on a postal application, I rang my local council, gave them the details of my multiple myeloma diagnosis, and received my blue badge within a couple of days. It cost me £5. Worth speaking to them direct. Best of luck.
