Blue Badge Support Letters
We understand that some patients may wish to provide additional medical evidence in support of a Blue Badge application.
Please note the following information regarding letters of support from the Practice:
Before Requesting a Letter
- We can only provide a supporting letter after you have submitted your initial Blue Badge application and received a request or decision from the local authority.
- Any letter we provide will be based solely on information contained within your medical records.
Private Service and Fees
- Blue Badge support letters are not funded by the NHS and therefore fall outside the services covered by your NHS care.
- As a result, these letters are provided on a private basis only.
- The fee for a Blue Badge support letter is £50.00.
- Payment must be made before work on the letter begins.
Processing Times
- Requests for Blue Badge support letters are considered non-urgent administrative work.
- Please allow up to 10 working days for your request to be processed.
Important Information
- The letter can only contain factual information taken from your health records. We cannot include information that is not documented in your medical notes.
- A supporting letter does not guarantee that a Blue Badge will be awarded.
- The Practice has no influence over the Council’s decision-making process and cannot intervene on your behalf.
- If your application is unsuccessful and you disagree with the decision, you should follow the appeals or review process set out by your local authority.
