Applying for a Blue Badge while waiting for a diagnosis?

BlueDalmatian

Hello, everyone

So, I have been waiting for an autism diagnosis for nigh on 21 months now, and am likely to wait a further 15 months beyond this. I have been advised by the disability service at my intended university to apply for a Blue Badge, thus making me eligible for a parking permit to park on the premises so I can easily travel and return home in the case of upholding and maintaining my routines, ensuring stability within myself post-meltdown, and so I don't have to use public transport, which is difficult for me to use due to a gamut of sensory issues it causes.

Is it possible to simply apply for a Blue Badge - not even necessarily receiving one at this stage, just applying - while I'm on the waiting list for an ASD diagnosis?
