You will need to state the reasons why you disagree with the decision and upload any new evidence to support your request, such as medical information (e.g. Consultant or GP letter).
If medical evidence is not provided, the original outcome of the application is unlikely to change.
If you require support with completing the online form you can visit Wigan or Leigh Life Centre and a member of staff will support you.
Our decision
We will look at your application again and will contact you if we need to explain something or ask for more information. We may also refer your case to an Occupational Therapist.
We will tell you what we have decided, taking into account the information you have provided. We aim to do this within 28 days following submission of the request to review the Blue Badge decision.
The decision is final, however, if your mobility circumstances change you can re-apply for a Blue Badge.
If you are concerned with the way in which the process has been conducted, you can submit a formal complaint online by following the council’s complaints procedure.
