DISABLED PARKING BADGE - ABERDEENSHIRE
For many years now, my wife and I have been disabled. She, I believe, having suffered to the degree of desperation and hopelessness. The BLUE BADGE has become a 'lifesaver' for us, in our journeys to town and beyond. There was, as there always is, a fee. This fee was a nominal charge "to cover administration" of £5.00, for us this obviously became £10.00 (two badges).
This year both our parking badges came to their designated end of term and required renewal. We planned a visit to the local Social Services Department for advice and was told the fee had risen to £15.00 EACH. Now our remittance (for both) leaps to a whopping £30.00. How is it that the cost of Administration has rocketed so??
We now are having to wait for the renewal of our Badges, until we have the £30.00 required.
Why are we all being hammered by these covert taxes and yet are expected to get the same value from our disability benefit as we have previously (in real terms - as the polititions tell us)?
I accept this may still be value for money but the "pot" never gets any bigger, does it?
Do you have any comments or experiences? Maybe you could share them with us?
Take care and stay safe.
