Our council now only issues blue badges based on "Higher Rate of the Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance" or "Personal Independence Payment for being unable to walk further than 50 metres (a score of 8 points or more under the ‘moving around’ activity of the mobility component)".

Discretionary issues cost them money , so they are withdrawing the eligibility assessments.
