hi guys,
Not sure if there is such a thing but is it possible to apply for a Disabled badge for a car on a temporary basis?
My Dad just got a hip replacement and there were a few complications after the surgery. Anyway long story short, he will be slow at walking for a few months and can't drive for 3 months. My mum will be taxing him everywhere. Can we apply for a disabled badge for those few months?

He will probably not need it that much, as he will be tired for a while, but anything to make his rehab easier.

Thanks in advance!

You need to talk to the Irish Wheelchair Association or the Disabled Drivers Association. They are the only organisations that can issue them. I think both have websites.
