BLUE BADGES For many people, a Blue Badge can make the difference when it comes to getting out and about. But applying for one isn't always straightforward. A 71-year-old amputee told the BBC he was asked to provide more evidence of his disability when renewing his Blue Badge, despite having lost a leg.
