Meh, we applied to SCC (Sheffield City Council) last September for the blue badge, sent in every bit of ID and other paper work we could find, everything was sent back because they want the originals and not copies! If they think I'm sending originals of my benefit documents through the local Snail Mail they can swivel, stuff's gone "walkies" more than once c/o them.

@onyx12345 a blue badge is used for disabled parking if you have the enhanced mobility side of pip you can apply to your council for a blue badge you get free parking in most places or a lower fee in others you may also park on double yellow lines if you are not causing an obstruction
