UK based and the blue badge

Why oh why is there so much impeduce on benefits (PIP/DLA etc) when applying for a blue badge? Thankfully I am still working, not in receipt of any benefits but a blue badge would help massively so lets see how it is viewed. MP will be getting a letter if refused. And on a different matter folk better stop thinking the pavement is a parking place or my crutch might fall against their car! Cars on both sides of the road, on the pavement with about a foot width of pavement left. I will not put myself in danger by walking on the road so they can limit the walking distance from a carpark by 20 meters. Pedestrians don't require insurance and I won't be paying an IOTA to make their car scratch/dent free.

@watsoncraig , good luck with your application for your blue badge. On the matter of pavement parking, Guide Dogs for the Blind have a strongly supported petition about this and a promise from the Government to review the law on this. But, they can't find time to discuss it at the moment!
