Again, not a legal requirement, just something I think should be applied to all drivers who qualify for a blue badge.

MMmmm .. wondered about this myself Garinda. My case slightly different, however :-
When I was 39 broke me hip (I'm sooo clumsy) had to have a replacement at 42 .. never looked back. Wasn't 'til I was 41 realised could have applied for badge, etc., as had young child, could only walk about 100 yards before I was in absolute agony and very difficult. After op. (hope not boring you with this
) wrote to whoever to explain .. not disabled anymore, they withdrew all benefits. Always wonder if I had not reported my 'recovery' if I could have still been drawing these ? .. course you are expected to, but as no retesting ? would they have ever found out ?
