Weather disruption
Winter weather is causing disruption to services in some parts of the county. Find out what services may be affected in your area.
We take all allegations of misuse very seriously, however sometimes 'genuine use' can be misjudged as 'misuse'.
It is important to be aware of some common misunderstandings:
If you still feel that a badge is being misused, please submit your report (anonymously if you prefer).
Before you start:
We'd like as much information as possible to help us with our investigations, such as:
If you wish to upload any evidence, like social media screenshots or short video footage, please be aware that this may be used in court proceedings.
We will do our utmost to investigate any report of misuse and take the appropriate action. However, we won’t be able to tell you the outcome of the investigation.
When a report involves a badge-holder who has automatically qualified for a badge because they receive a benefit, like Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Personal Independence Payments (PIP), we will forward your report to the relevant service.
