- entitles the holder to park in the areas listed under "Other information
- valid throughout Germany
- Signs G and B and a degree of disability of at least 80 for functional disorders of the lower limbs (and the lumbar spine, insofar as these affect the ability to walk) alone,
- signs G and B and a degree of disability of at least 70 for functional disorders of the lower limbs (and the lumbar spine, insofar as these affect the ability to walk) alone and, at the same time, a degree of disability of at least 50 for functional disorders of the heart or the respiratory organs,
- Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, if the degree of disability is at least 60.
- artificial bowel outlet and at the same time artificial urinary diversion, if there is a degree of disability of at least 70.
Please remember: It is not sufficient to have a disability certificate with the marks G and B and, for example, 80 percent. It must be checked on the basis of the corresponding notice from the Lower Saxony State Office whether the percentages are composed as described above.
