Reapply for a Blue Badge
Some websites are charging £50 or more to process Blue Badge applications. If you apply through the official GOV.UK form, you will only be charged £10.
You can reapply for a Blue Badge if your circumstances change, even if your application has been rejected in the past.
Changes in circumstances might include:
- starting to receive the higher rate mobility component of Disability Living Allowance
- being registered blind
You can apply online on the Government’s GOV.UK website:
If you cannot complete the form online, phone 0121 738 2656.
It usually takes up to (8 Working weeks) to review your application, mobility assessment (If applicable) and make a decision.
To make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible, make sure that you:
- apply in good time (no more than 10 weeks before the expiry date)
- complete the forms correctly
- send in the right up to date documents and medical evidence.
Once your Blue Badge application has been approved and you’ve paid any related charges, you should receive your badge in the post within 5 to 7 working days.
