Ask us to review an unsuccessful application

If your Blue Badge application has been refused, you can ask us to review our decision.

A review is not a new application. We will only review your case if you provide new or additional evidence that was not included in your original application and may affect the decision.

How to ask for a review

To ask for a review, you must:

  • submit your request within 28 days of the date on your decision letter
  • provide any new or additional evidence you would like us to consider

You can send your review request by email or post.

What happens next

We will review the new evidence you provide and reconsider our decision. If you ask us to review your application, we will send you an email explaining the review process.

Depending on the information required, the review can take up to 12 weeks.

If your review is unsuccessful

If we do not change our decision, you cannot make a new Blue Badge application for 6 months from the date of the unsuccessful application.

When you apply again, include any new information or supporting evidence that shows you may be eligible for a Blue Badge.
