Hi.  I used to get high rate for daily living needs and middle rate for mobility needs.  I have now been downgraded to the standard rate re my assessment.  I asked them to re-assess my claim to which they decided to keep me on the standard rate.  Will I still be able to apply for a blue badge. Thanks.

    Yes as long as you get standard rate mobility allowance, some councils are now being more rigorous in handing out blue badges and granting renewals making people go for an acessment to qualify their need for a blue badge.

    Yes but under the conditions set out below.

    As long as you fit this criteria otherwise it's an assessment at with your local council.

    I created one of the campaign election videos for Labour, and Jeremy Corbyn,
    This is a new version of Emeli Sande, Hope "You Are Not Alone
    I highlighted everything that's wrong with this country from benefits, NHS, UC etc, but now we have to put up with the hate now that is the Tories.
