Local authorities are legally responsible for dealing with blue badge applications. Applicants who will permanently meet the eligibility criteria can be awarded a badge on a ‘not for reassessment’ basis, which means that when re-applying in three years’ time they will not need to provide any additional evidence from healthcare professionals, only proof of identity and residency. These are reasonable and proportionate requirements to protect the integrity and robustness of the Blue Badge scheme.
