Blue Badge renewal

nanaK54 I think people don't realise how helpful MPs can be. When I worked in the civil service MPs queries were always given priority. I have used mine lots of times.

I have just received my Blue Badge. I applied two weeks ago as I have M E /CFS. I don't get any benefits but thought it was worth a try. The form was very simple and I used a GP letter from 2010 as evidence. I am so pleased. I can't use public transport and the Badge will really help. I'm in N Ireland.

My mother's has run out. Didn't know it ran out ever! Any way it is valid till late 2022 due to delays - Edinburgh Council.

I didn't know they ran out. How do we apply for a renewal as I see mine runs out next month?
Does the renewal method vary from region to region.

DD2 has to obtain a letter every time, showing she qualifies as her disability is ‘for life’. She can’t use the original letter and there’s a new photograph every time.

My LA will not accept applications for renewals until 8 weeks before Blue Badge expires,mine ends on 22/8/22 so cannot apply for renewal until 22/6/22 helpful man at end of phone said it will take 7-10 days so all areas are so different.

Does the renewal method vary from region to region.

The process, as far as I know, applies to all areas:

If you're not sure, the Blue Badge department at your local council, will advise.
