Mitigation would be something like the sign on the bay had been stolen ...


That is not mitigation. That is a case of inadequate signage.

From the person being fined's perspective I think it would as it would indicate that the council was applying a fine when the pay was "inadequately signed".

However there are lists of mitigations here:

The OP still does not qualify however.

Any help for the OP in 'saving money'?

Not medically trained no.
But can apply common sense and basic logic.
That may be a strange concept to you,which is a shame.

Common sense and basic logic indicate that the present system is severely flawed.

Councils' default is to refuse a badge. Those without the required skills to fight their cause lose out.

That is a sweeping statement it may be your council but it is certainly not others, I was issued with a Blue Badge without any problems by my council when I applied as they obviously considered my application was valid and I was in need of one.
