BLUE BADGE ENTITLEMENT

[nabsim]

I just apply for a new one and agree that nothing has changed here.

I don't understand why they have to be different elsewhere. Scotland is £20, and Wales is free.

You have to send new award letter as well as ID here Kev. No problem with that answer think its better than just saying nothing has changed as it should reduce issue of badge where its not entitled.

I am the same but I don't see a problem in making it harder to stop fraud. Not like they demand a medical each time, its just the documentation you get sent through plus stuff like ID so everyone has it

Yea understand that . My grievance with the system is quite simple . My quality of life (I know) is affected by my medical condition. A BB would help a lot . In my simple mind surely that is what a BB is for ?

yes that is what a BB is for. I don't know if it still works now, (or even if area dependent) but you used to be able to have a doctors consultation to see if you qualified if you didn't receive DLA/PiP etc. I know in Derbyshire you used to be able get a BB issued for shorter time periods for short term problems, (e.g. broken legs).

Here you apply and , unless it is a slam dunk , you get tested. Doctor's letter makes no fekkin difference.
I would argue the bar is set far too high . If someone is 75 and struggles to walk any distance give them a BB
What difference does it make ?
