Blue badge issues

Hi all,I’m a bit concerned as I’ve just applied for a renewal of my blue card,I had to say exactly how many steps I could walk,I tried to put ‘it varies ‘but the lady said I must put a number,I tried to explain some days I can walk better than others,I have C O P D ,we agreed on the steps to my front gate,problem is if I’m observed walking around my garden on a good day it could seem I was lying,I also have Polymyalgia Rheumatica and an aneurism on my Aorta and do my best to stay as active as possible,some days I can’t get out of bed.I understand they must be sure we are disabled but I’ve had COPD over 7 years and had a blue badge.

My best advice would be to give honest and frank answers at your assessment. If you are not granted a blue badge, there should also be details of how to appeal the decision on the letter explaining your outcome, where you may have the opportunity to provide medical evidence and have a more in-depth assessment. Fingers crossed for you!
