    Hi @Ianj
    Welcome to the community!  You may be eligible for a Blue Badge as you suffer with severe pain, however I'm not sure about tunnel travel.

    Hi @Ianj and a warm welcome to the community! We have quite a few members with Spinal stenosis at the moment: @Sooty123, @windsorboy
    You may be eligible for PIP, you can use the PIP self- test online to see if it is worth a claim. Here is the criteria for a blue badge.There is also the benefits calculator which you may find useful :) If you need anything else then please do not hesitate to be in touch!
