We have seen a recent increase in the number of requests for letters from the GP to support Blue Badge applications. Completion of forms or writing letters fall outside of the remit of General Medical Services and the GPs will charge for this. The current fee is £40.

Where possible we recommend that you provide the council with a copy of a letter from your consultant or physiotherapist which should describe your condition (COPD, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chronic Pain, physical disability etc) and how it limits your mobility. Generally speaking you will have a letter from your most recent appointment with your specialist confirming this. If not, our receptionists can check for any recent communication on our records.

Those who are in receipt of Disability Living Allowance or Personal Independent Payments (score of 10+ for planning a journey and moving around), War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement, Armed Forces Compensation Scheme or those with a sight impairment need to provide supporting information as confirmation of their entitlement.
