National Disability Card UK: A Lifeline for People with Disabilities

Living with a disability—especially an invisible one—comes with unique challenges. Since being diagnosed with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) in 2012, I’ve often found myself needing to explain my condition again and again.

The National Disability Card is a powerful recognition tool for people like me and many of you reading this. It helps individuals prove their disability status quickly and discreetly, making everyday life a little easier.
