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.
