Thread Name: BS: Blue Badge requirements
Subject: RE: BS: Blue Badge requirements
People needing pain meds and 2 weeks to recover from the assessment. Doctors getting angry and having a go at social workers who put their patients through the wringer.


Social Workers do not assess for Blue Badges in any authority I have ever worked for, nor is there any reason why they would or should. Some authorities involve OT's or clinicians but no social worker would involve themselves in a physical test of any description since we are not qualified to.
