Blue Badge Holders still miss out on benefits
Leicestershire County Council, Age Concern and other agencies in the LAA partnership are still concerned that people who are in possession of a blue disabled badge for their vehicle are still not claiming extra money they may be entitled to. Under most circumstances people over 65 probably should be claiming Attendance Allowance which is worth an extra £44.85 or £67 per week. No-one is interested in your income or your savings it is not means tested and will not affect any other benefit. More »
During the month of October those people who have a blue badge and are over 65 and not claiming Attendance Allowance are invited to ring FREEPHONE 0800-5677-047 between the hours of 1.30pm to 4pm Monday to Friday to speak to a trained advisor. All paperwork will be completed for you.
PLEASE ONLY RING BETWEEN THESE TIMES. « Less

- Following the Government’s shortlisting of ‘Pennbury’ as a potential Eco-town, the ‘Have your Say’ meetings in Kibworth and Tugby were the first opportunity for residents in the surrounding area to find out how the District and County Council were planning to respond to this challenge.
- At the Blaby South Community Forum residents and Parish Councillors from Sapcote, Sharnford, Stoney Stanton and surrounding villages expressed their concerns about the volume and speed of Heavy Goods Vehicles travelling through their villages. In response officers promised to look into a range of measures to reduce the impact of traffic and improve road safety in the short term, while explaining how they were looking to provide longer-term solutions.
