Service Description: The Disabled Persons Parking Badge - Parking Concessions for Disabled and Blind People
Also known as:- Disabled Badge, Disabled Parking, Parking Permits
Answer: This depends on which category you have applied under. If you have applied under any of the Section 2 categories (i.e. without further assessment) and if your paperwork is complete, the application process should take approximately 4 weeks. If you have applied under any of the Section 3 categories (i.e. subject to further assessment), then your application could take approximately 12 weeks as you are likely to be referred to the Mobility Clinic at St Mary's Hospital for a specialist assessment of your walking ability. These appointments are outside of the Council's control, so specific timescales are not possible.
