A Blue Badge can make day-to-day travel much easier, especially when parking at airports, hospitals, shopping centres, or public transport hubs, where accessible spaces are essential for people with limited mobility.
A Blue Badge Medical Letter is a document written by a UK-registered doctor that explains how your medical condition or disability affects your mobility. It provides clear, professional evidence to support your Blue Badge application or renewal with your local council. The letter confirms your diagnosis, how your condition impacts walking or movement, and why accessible parking is necessary for your safety and independence.
Most local councils ask for medical evidence when you apply for or renew a Blue Badge, especially if your condition doesn’t automatically qualify. A doctor-signed medical letter helps the council understand the medical reasons behind your mobility challenges, verifies your disability or health condition, and supports your request for mobility assistance or accessible parking.
Yes. If your Blue Badge is due for renewal (usually every three years), a new medical letter can help confirm that your health condition or disability still affects your mobility. Councils often request updated documentation during renewal to ensure your eligibility remains the same.
A Blue Badge Medical Letter must be written and signed by a UK GMC-registered doctor or GP. At Merlin Health, every letter is prepared by a qualified doctor who reviews your medical information and supporting evidence before issuing a signed, verifiable PDF suitable for council submission.

Anyone with a disability, chronic illness, or medical condition that limits mobility may benefit from a Blue Badge medical letter. This includes people with severe arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), chronic respiratory conditions, cardiac disease, or other long-term issues that make walking difficult or unsafe.
Councils typically consider medical conditions that cause severe mobility issues or difficulty walking short distances. Common examples include:
Severe arthritis or joint problems
Chronic pain or musculoskeletal disorders
Parkinson’s disease or other neurological conditions
COPD, asthma, or chronic respiratory disease
Heart failure or angina
Amputations or conditions requiring wheelchairs or walking aids
Yes. Chronic pain and arthritis are among the most common reasons for Blue Badge applications. If pain, stiffness, or fatigue makes walking difficult, your doctor can outline these limitations in your medical letter to support your council application.
When applying for a Blue Badge, you may need:
A medical letter from a UK-registered doctor
Clinic letters or medical records confirming your diagnosis
Proof of identity and address
Recent photographs
Useful evidence includes recent clinic letters, hospital discharge summaries, physiotherapy notes, or your NHS Summary Care Record. These documents help your doctor confirm your diagnosis and write a detailed letter verifying your mobility limitations.
Yes. Merlin Health allows you to obtain your Blue Badge medical letter entirely online without booking a GP appointment. You simply complete a secure online form, upload medical evidence, and our GMC-registered doctor prepares your signed letter remotely.
Yes, where possible. Uploading clinic letters, hospital reports, or medical records helps the reviewing doctor confirm your condition and ensure your letter is accurate. The more supporting evidence you provide, the stronger your Blue Badge application will be.
