    I wonder how the physio measured your level of pain!!!

    Can you appeal?
    dont know how its possible to measure pain, I can request a review.
    I cannot reapply for 6 months unless there is a a significant deterioration in my medical condition.

    had the medical last saturday with a physio , asked questions and took me on a short walk, got letter tuesday, saying it is accepted you are in pain but it is not severe enough for a blue badge to be approved at this time,

    Seems that the LA's are getting tougher on BB applications.

    It was to be expected given the abuse of some BB holders that I have seen and those that I know of.

    One where the adult child no longer lives with the parents, yet the BB still has nearly 2 years to run and it is used every day for the parents' own benefit.

    Another where a couple have split up, his wife is the BB user but can't drive, yet the ex husband proudly uses it every day.

    Reported yet again, both Oldboy and Tokenfield. He may get a life one day though I won't count on it.

    Yep I know of one whose grandma had a BB. 21 year old daughter used it to park everywhere. I don't think she actually even ever took her granny out in the car.

    Why are you reporting? What are you reporting?

    And who on earth is Tokenfield?
