To join Purpl, you need to verify that you are disabled or living with an eligible long-term health condition that qualifies under the Equality Act.
Purpl is a closed membership community created specifically for disabled people and those living with long-term health conditions.
Verification helps us:
- Protect the community from people who are not eligible
- Keep member-only discounts within the disabled community
- Give brands confidence that their offers are reaching the people they are intended to support
- Reduce the risk of discount codes being copied or shared publicly
- Secure better and more exclusive offers for Purpl members
Brands need reassurance that Purpl checks eligibility properly. Without verification, it would be much harder for us to negotiate meaningful disability discounts.
What evidence do I need?
You will need to provide an accepted document that confirms your eligibility. This could include a disability benefit letter, Blue Badge, Disabled Person’s Railcard, Access Card, DID Card or another recognised document.

Parents and carers can join using the disabled person’s evidence, as long as they have permission.
What happens to my document?
Your document is only used to check your eligibility. Documents are automatically deleted 30 days after someone has been verified.
Purpl keeps only the limited information required to manage membership.
What if I do not have an accepted document?
You can ask your GP or another health professional to complete Purpl’s Disability or Long-Term Condition Confirmation Form.
