We are pleased to see that the furlough scheme has been extended. But disabled people who are shielding now need an automatic right to furlough so they are not forced to choose between their health and their finances. #Budget2021

And social housing needs to be protected from people who want to misuse it. bbfi.org.uk/housing-tenanc…

This is what happens if you drive into central London with a stolen blue badge. Don’t be silly just pay to park. Badge will be seized and driver interviewed about a criminal fraud. BBFI are a NFP working with local councils and local police to protect the disability scheme.

Garym Lambert, one of our highly skilled investigators, successfully defended a succession claim, and was awarded full costs and outstanding ‘Use and Occupation’ to be paid in the next 2 months. The total amount awarded was £26,213 and the property was handed back.

Watch out for the BBFI team in action, with Cardiff City Council, investigating Blue Badge fraud tonight on BBC News (UK) Wales at 19.35pm. #investigation #DisabilityRights #disabilitysupport

I’ve had enough of being refused access to businesses because I have a guide dog! Having a security guard in a department store aggressively shout “no pets allowed” over & over again whilst I’m with my kids is inexcusable. Both my kids noticed customers stopping to stare.

We recently spent time with the Scam Interceptors team talking about blue badge fraud. The episode airs tomorrow on BBC One @ 10am. There's an increase in blue badge misuse & we know from experience that enforcing the scheme increases compliance. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Today, within just a few hours the team found 2 cars where the blue badges were being misused. Misuse is a criminal offence and stops #disabled people being able to go to work or visit their local town. We will find you! bbfi.org.uk

This is a good & much needed move forward. Recently the team investigated 2 cases where the properties had been unlawfully listed and booked through Airbnb. Let's hope this ruling opens further collaboration with other local authorities too. standard.co.uk/news/london/ai…

It doesn't matter who you are, what you do or what car you have, parking in a blue badge bay and using a dead relative's badge is not only a criminal offence but it's morally wrong! Well done Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea for protecting the blue badge scheme. EL&N London UK standard.co.uk/news/london/al…

Outrageous but also unfortunately on the rise. Last year alone we seized 1,581 badges being misused and over 500 were lost badges, belonged to a deceased person or stolen. Enforcement of the blue badge scheme = increase in compliance. #disabilityrights bbc.co.uk/news/disabilit…

According to government statistics, Blue Badge theft has risen by nearly 45% over last 5 years. Our blog digs deeper into the facts to discover how LA's and organisations can work together to reduce blue badge theft. bbfi.org.uk/putting-a-stop… #DisabilityRights #bluebadge
