Anyone been through the process of applying for a disabled Blue Badge? Is it best to pay a Gestor or Solicitor to complete the process for us or is it simple to do it for ourselves? We have completed the disability assessment, with the result, and the form from Junta de Andalucia. Any help / guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks

If you've completed getting the form, etc, then why pay a Gestor to do the rest?
What is important in Spain is a "discapacity %", something that is needed here but doesn't exist in England. We already had one done here for our son (Down's Syndrome).
We also needed a "valoracion de dependencia", which means an assessment of how dependent he was on us as parents. My wife got this via the social worker in the Town Hall.
If you don't speak Spanish enough to understand the form, then probably a Gestor might be best.
We got one easily for our handicapped son, though my wife is a Spanish national which may have made it easier.
I hope that helps.
Bear in mind also that sometimes things work differently in the various provinces.
