Right to Appeal (Stage 2)
If your Blue Badge application is unsuccessful, the appeals process consists of two stages:
Stage 1: Review Stage
Before submitting an appeal, you must first request a review of your application. This involves providing an explanation in writing why you believe the initial decision was incorrect and how you feel you meet the eligibility criteria. A review must be completed before moving on to Stage 2. If you have not had a review please complete this form.
Stage 2: Appeal
If you have completed the review and still wish to contest the decision, you can submit a Second Stage Appeal to the Blue Badge Appeal Panel. This appeal will examine whether the correct processes were followed during the initial assessment and the review. It does not involve a re-assessment of the medical information.
Important Information:
- This form is for the Second Stage Appeal and can only be completed after the review stage has been concluded.
- You must submit your appeal within 4 weeks of receiving the review decision.
- You may attend the appeal meeting with someone to support you. If you are unable to attend, you can appoint a representative to attend on your behalf, or the panel will proceed in your absence.
