PCN but no photo evidence

My son was dropping of his mum and stopped on double yellow lines (no kerb markings) she is disabled so has a blue badge and he put this on the dashboard as normal.

He helped her out of the car and was just bout to drive away when a traffic warden printed out a ticket and gave to him.

He explained to the warden the badge and situation but was told nothing he can do so my son drove off.

My son appealed but was not found in his favour so has been told must pay the PCN

There's no photo evidence of him on the double yellow, no photos of the badge either just a picture of him driving away.

Yet the authority says that pictures are only secondary evidence and the observations of the warden are primary, so basically they take his/her word that you have committed the offence!

Is there any further appeal than can be made at all please?

Kind Regards for reading.
