The Blue Badge scheme allows disabled people to park closer to their destination than other drivers, as they are less able to take public transport or walk long distances.
In the past, on average, it took 17 days to apply for and get your Blue Badge – or 28 days if you needed a medical assessment. By claiming online an application should only take 13 minutes – or up to half an hour if you need to give more information.
