short of money.

Meaning a disabled parking permit should only be available to the poor?
That would cure the problem since they probably couldn't afford a car.

You need to get the PIP enhanced mobility benefit to get a blue badge AFAIK.
Then the car is "free".
They might even pay for driving lessons if they can't afford them.
If they are really poor they might want to use the cash for something else.
