Today I went for my blue badge assessment in [Location removed by moderator] I'm 66 and still work full time . I have never applied for any benefit .I'm in extreme pain walking .it was the most alful experience with man telling me to look aftermyself not my family . Told me to get to the gym and just go for it . Made to feel I was under investigation as though I was a criminal .

    Hi there @jeanmil and welcome to the community.
    I'm so sorry to hear about your experience, that can't have been easy for you, but well done for going! I understand the assessment can sometimes feel a bit like an interrogation, but they need to make sure you're giving the right information and that you're eligible for a blue badge. It's a terrible shame the assessors bedside manner was so bad.
