I have a 3 and a half year old boy diagnosed in April with ASD, sensory processing disorder, developmental coordination disorder (dyspraxia) and a communication delay. He also has very poor eye sight with double vision and no depth perception. He gets extremely anxious when going indoors, has very little awareness of danger, struggles to climb stairs, falls often and bumps into things wants to run the whole time including in car parks.
I requested a blue badge based on the above information saying he is a danger to himself and others but it has been declined because in the assessment he could walk 120m with a normal gait when in an empty, level carpark with no potholes, stairs or hazards and so was not severly disabled.
I included a letter from his nursery stating his difficulties and his diagnosos paperwork with the application.
I'm obviously appealing but has anyone had any experience of this and got any advice on how to get a successful appeal because if he fails he has to wait 6 months before trying again.
Thank you for your time in reading this.
