As well as reading through the link provided by kirbyinfurnesslad, which contains fantastic advice, I would go and see the manager at Asda and explain about your wife's condition and press him to get the charge lifted - he has the power to do that.

You need to see the manager, not the fob-off frump on the customer services desk. Take the blue badge and any recent Asda receipts and tell him that as a regular customer of his, you don't expect to be treated like this. I'd be utterly flabbergasted if, given your circumstances, he refuses to help you.

Come back and let us know how you get on please.

You won't be paying it!

Just do a simple appeal online to Smart Parking and complain to the Asda store manager of course. Does the letter actually state what the contravention is? Smart Parking have recently used Notice to Owner letters after an alleged windscreen PCN, where the letter doesn't given the contravention details. Does yours?

Still go online and submit an appeal to Smart, telling them the store manager is cancelling it and you require confirmation that the notice is quashed.

I agree with this, but I am a cautious person so I would actually put as my appeal point that I have talked to the manager and obtained his agreement to cancel the ticket, but add that if SMART Parking are not prepared to accept this as an appeal point, then you require a POPLA code.

The reason is this. If the manager either forgets or is unsuccessful in his cancellation request, you don't want to miss your POPLA fall back.

You retain some control of the process if you do as I suggest, although I do hope that it doesn't come to that.
