● appeal the decision to refuse a Blue Badge

Completion takes around 5 minutes.

● contact details

Appeals must be made within 8 weeks of the date the application was refused, and new supporting evidence must be provided.

On submission of an appeal the case will be allocated to an Occupational Therapist who was not involved in the original decision. They will review the original application, and all supporting evidence provided. You may be asked to attend a face-to-face assessment.

If your appeal is not upheld (meaning the occupational therapist agrees with the original decision), this is the final decision on your application. You can apply for a Blue Badge again after 6 months from the date of the appeal decision.
