Hi @Petrina, thanks for sharing this with us.
As far as I know there's no 'official' disability card or register, but there are schemes you can join which provide a card which can be used as ID. You may be interested in this past discussion here, and hopefully our members can share some thoughts too! -
I applied for my yellow disabled card on line from the local council.
You don't need a photo, mine just has a number and my name on.
It's free as well.
I use it as ID for cheaper tickets at museums and things. -
If you tap in yellow disabled card on your local council website it should come up, if not then ask at the local library.
-
What is the name of the yellow badge that you got from your council.
-
They just called it, "yellow disabled card"
-
I got mine about 5 years a go, even changed it when I moved counties.

This yellow card only seems to be available with Hampshire local council, as i did a google search. 5 years was a long time ago and a lot can change in this time.This is what i found. https://fish.hants.gov.uk/kb5/hampshire/directory/advice.page?id=GFX9tzBx3wEAs Pippa has advised, you can no longer register as disabled and this applies to almost all local council.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Yes, Hampshire council and also Surrey.
I was told it's a voluntary disabled register, in that you have to ask for it rather then just be given it. -
I think it's run on a county basis rather then a national thing.
Changed mine for a Surrey one last year, same sort of card and colour but a slightly different design.
