Hi @pidwinch
Welcome to the community, and sorry to hear that you had your blue badge refused. Just a few days ago @Georgina12 shared her story of being refused too.
Did they say why it was refused and will you appeal?
CAB has some great advice on appealing:Explain why the reasons listed on your letter are wrong, in as much detail as you can.
Include any details you might have missed the first time. For example, if you have mobility problems, explain why using parking meters is painful or why it’s difficult for you to walk very far to get from your car to a shop.
Include scans, copies or photographs of any evidence you have, for example:
- a letter from your doctor, physiotherapist or another medical expert
- proof of your address, such as energy or council tax bills - if your local authority don’t think you really live in the area
- proof of your identity with your picture on it, such as a passport - if your council doesn’t believe you’re the person you say you are
Good luck, and please let us know how you get on.
