Proposals to improve Blue Badge eligibility for autistic people. So we are about 2 weeks away from the consultation which would of then had ended 2 months ago on the 18 March 2018.
I know goverment is slow but they got to have good idea of what there are going to be doing by now.So any idea about this Blue Badge progressing? Is it going to happen or not?

This is on the BBC website this morning, by way of an update
Thank you.
hopefull we will see a difinative date soon.
I am more concerned about phrases like "very considerable psychological distress". This sounds like a way of excluding a fair proportion of people with autism and/or mental health problems. We shall have to wait for the detail.
