Hi, my name is jpp! I have had two previous blue badges, but have been refused a 3rd

jpp

Could anyone offer some advice please, am desperate.  I have had two previous blue badges, but have been refused a 3rd.  Apart from arthritis which I was issued the two previous badges for, I have since undergone two cancer operations, including the removal of a lung, which leaves me breathless.  I feel that I meet the criteria on this basis alone, has anyone any suggestions?  Thank you for your time

Do you receive PIP? If so you may be eligible without assessment or questions:

If not then I advise you to ask your local council to re-consider or I would re-apply. You should of been given a reason for refusal but the fact that you have had two blue badges previously and your health has deteriorated, should go in your favour.

Thank you for your help.  No, I don’t get PIP.  I think they want me to obtain another opinion and not from my GP, as to why I need a badge.  I am looking at my options before I get back to them.

I wouldn't reapply, you need to ask them to look at the decision again. If you can get more evidence as to why the BB is needed then even better.
