What does the riders card say? What grade rider are they?
Is it in RDA, BD or unaff competition?

I cannot think of any reason why they could... but best to check with BD. I'm not that 'up together' on para dressage.

It'll be whatever the rules of the comp are. I wouldn't dream of putting one of my RDA riders in a BD novice test with a double as it's not allowed under BD rules...
Para riders come under BD for affiliated body, not RDA.

^ ^ This says if approved so best to ring RDA and ask. My gut feeling would be no - if rider is at novice level I would assume they would possibly not be competent to use a double, likewise if horse is at that level it shouldn't be in a double. If the partnership is competent they should be looking at Para dressage.
