11.1 The council aims to process Blue Badge applications within 6 to 8 weeks of a completed application and all evidence being received. Applications submitted alongside a DS1500 form are automatically prioritised.
11.2 If further information or evidence is requested from the applicant and no response is received from the applicant within 4 weeks, the application will be deemed cancelled and will not be processed any further. If the administration fee has been paid, this will be refunded.
11.3 If further information is required from an Expert Assessor or a mobility assessment is required, the timescale is extended to 12 weeks.
11.4 Applicants moving to Staffordshire should continue to use their existing badge until it expires and reapply to Staffordshire County Council.
