Is European Disability Card a strict necessity when traveling in another EU country ?
I will travel to Germany in a few days. A long while ago, i applied to request the European Disability Card, a document that helps prove my disabled status in every EU country.
Unfortunately, i just got news that due to printing problems, they will send it to my home much later than anticipated, and specifically two days after i'll have already returned from my trip, and i can't be granted an digital version of it because i can only request that after getting the physical version of the card. In other words, i'm forced to depart without it.
I have been in call with various call centers to try and get more infos, and i got fairly conflicting responses. Some said that without this card is basically impossible to have my disabled status proved in another country, on the other i was told having it is not a completely strict need and i can still prove my status with my regular disability documents provided they have a scannable QR code and a rough english translation. Has anyone got some experience with it to confirm which one of the two is true ?
