I used CAB online form to ask for support re BB refusal.

Today i got a callback from CAB re my query. They wanted more info before offering me an appointment . I told them i had already posted the review..

I thought ppl would be interested to know that the CAB include BB refusals in the scope of their work and they do contact you.

Hi All ,

Just an update for those that might be interested. I've been chasing LA for an update on BB appeal.

No surprise that the process chugged along at snails pace and way past their published response deadlines , persistent calls to prod them helps i think.

Called today and recvd 3 emails , to confirm BB approved . No formal apology or explanation for delays , which obvs impacts a disabled persons freedom of movement etc.

Hi Sum

Congratulations on your persistence, for some members they find it hard to chase, your post shows it pays to chase 👏🏻

Hi Forum

Call me pedantic ... can't help it 😁

I was curious to know about the rationale that overturned previous two applns and wanted an explanation for delys in processing of appeal/review.

i emailed the council BB team. Instead of answering my query they replied to say my application had been transferred to new local authority. Fair enough as i did notify them of our move. It seems evasive and 'work shy' to say the least not to offer a response to my questions. i dont know if i made a mistake or they did ? 🤷🏽‍♀️

I want to know for future ref and ofc can help others too

Hi Sum

Blue Badge is not something we cover on the forum, some mods may give an answer from their experience.
