We applied to Sheffield City Council a while back, sent in scanned copies of my PIP letters, ID documents, everything, they wouldn't accept copies, sorry but I don't trust the local postal service not to lose stuff so I ain't sending the originals.

I spoke to a [removed by moderator] Journalist this morning about this after emailing your Press Office last night, he's going to show his Bosses my comments but I asked him to post them anonymous, due to the fact over half the Interweb hates me because I can't work due to my conditions.
You don't want to see some of the comments on my Facebook page.

when I renewed my blue badge and housing application I was asked to send copies not originals as once I was approved the documents are destroyed, I have even emailed additional documents when required no problem from Wiltshire County Council.

When i renewed my BB last year everything was done digitally, which meant all i had to do was send a picture of everything and it was all done. Application took less than 2 weeks in total.
