    Funnily enough I have just renewed mine. Checked with the council and they said can do it upto 6 weeks before expiry date. Went through the above link. Had to upload DLA, proof of address and a photo. Next day it was accepted and had to ring to pay the fee.
    i renewed a few weeks ago, and the system appears to have a failing.

    i receivced a letter saying it was expiring ... and to complete the form and post it in the envelope ( to an outside body) which i did.

    the letter went on to say that once my eligibility had been checked, i would be notified ... make my payment, and then receive my badge.

    i posted the letter and less than a week later received my badge.... and no one had asked me to pay!

    i visited my local council with the letter and voluntarily made a payment.

    seems the right hand doesn't know what the eft hand is doing

    There is a long time to wait for the renewal at times.
    Mine took about 2 months.
    They said to use my expired badge until new one arrived.
