What documents you need to send, and how to send them

Proof of automatic entitlement

Note: Your badge will be issued until the end date on the award letter or for a maximum of 3 years, whichever is shorter.

Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Personal Independence Payment (PIP)

You no longer need to submit evidence of these awards unless we ask you to. (This may be because we are unable to verify your award equates to an automatic entitlement to a Blue Badge, via the DWP database)
