2. How many Blue Badge applications have your rejected per year?
We don’t hold this information. We don't 'reject' anyone as such. If the application scores low, it will come across from Manage blue badges as not eligible. With those applications we guide the applicant to add more details of their needs as the majority that receive that message have put very little down. If they applicant scores near to the score then it passes to the OT, again the OT will ask for a bigger picture of their needs.
