    Hi @mojo72 and welcome to the community. Disabled parking bays are only considered for those who have a car, a blue badge, and receive the higher rate of PIP - https://trading.ageuk.org.uk/useful-articles/car/how-to-apply-for-a-disabled-parking-bay/

    Are patient transport dropping him off far from your home?

    Hi,

    If there's a wall or fence in front of your home, there's nothing stopping you placing a non-official disabled sign on it to politely warn other drivers that the space is needed. They are not legally obliged to comply but I'd like to hope most people would be considerate if they know.
