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.

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! Scope -
