SIR - Re Mr Lorriman’s letter (T&A, July 12). I have had the same trouble. I sent for a new blue badge on May 13, my old one ran out on June 26.  It is very difficult parking when you can only park on the roads. I have a disabled bay marked outside my house.

Also, I have to wear specially made boots from the hospital which usually take two to three months.  I first rang for an appointment last September, my boots are still not ready.
