Certain people are automatically entitled to a Blue Badge. These are:
- People who receive the higher rate of the mobility component of Disability Living Allowance.
- People who are registered blind or severely sight impaired.
- People who receive War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement.
- People with a severe disability in both arms who regularly drive a vehicle but cannot operate or have considerable difficulty in operating all or some types of parking meter.
- People who are over the age of 80 and have had a Blue Badge before.
- People who are over the age of 90.
The service is postal only.
If you are applying under Part B, do not send us your allowance or pension books. A photocopy or confirmation letter from DWP or a VED exemption letter will suffice. If you have mislaid this you can ring DLA helpline – Tel: 0845 7123456 local call rate and quote your national insurance number and they will send you a duplicate letter of confirmation, usually by return of post.
Application forms for a renewal badge need to be requested at least a month prior to the expiry date of an existing badge and are not automatically sent out. We will then contact you within 4 weeks with the outcome of your application. Please note reminders are NOT sent out when your badge is due for renewal.
Please ensure you put the correct postage on your envelope to ensure your application reaches us.
Please contact the Blue Car Badge Team on 0845 113 1133 (local rate) if you have any queries regarding your application.
