Please continue to apply and if you are reapplying ensure you allow enough time before your badge expires. Local authority staff will respond to you as soon as they are able to. Please check on the relevant local authority website for information on help and support if required.
Welsh Government and other nations will continue to monitor the situation closely and Blue Badge holders should continue to use their badges for journeys, complying with the rights and responsibilities booklet and any local restrictions.
