Amputee gets blue badge after ‘leg will not re-grow’ letter

A special constable who lost a leg in an accident has described his doctor as a “legend” for writing to the council after he was rejected for a blue badge.

Ben Perry’s right leg was amputated in 2018 after he was hit by a car.

However, when it came time to renew his blue badge, he said he was told he did not qualify and was told to supply more evidence of his disability.

In a letter, shared by Mr Perry on Twitter, his doctor told the council his leg was unlikely to “re-grow”.
