You will need to speak to your local authority about it.

How long has your DLA Higher Rate Mobility been awarded for as I would expect your Blue Badge to match this or a maximum of three years?

Gordon

If you are in receipt of DLA HRM, then you automatically are entitled to a Blue Badge as long as you still have a current award. As Gordon has advised, contact the County Council which issued your last BB, unless you live in a unitary authority or metropolitan borough, if so contact them.

You can also apply for a Blue Badge renewal online at www.gov.uk, and type Blue Badge in the search box, which will take you to your local authority.

That,s right i renewed mine and i sent it away with my award letter and they sent me back a new one for 3 years my rate is high care and high mobility. perhaps their not being so giving and what council you are with
