If your O/A in the knee affects you badly enough that you are struggling to walk any distance then apply , everyone is different, I have O/A in multiple joints and a hip-replacement but I don't feel my mobility is that bad that I would qualify for one.

Hi
You sound as if you should qualify for it.....certainly apply.
If you cant walk very far and need a bigger space to get in and out of the car a blue badge would be a lifesaver

Hi,

Yes you can my hubby has it in both knee's and when he applied he used crutches to get about but now he is wheelchair bound if you need more space to help you get around then you should apply good luck.

I have a blue badge as I have OA, I have had TKR in the left but still suffer pain and my right knee isnt much use, I am now a wheelchair user but if you are unable to walk very far then its always worth applying.
