Such application shall be lodged three months prior to the expiry of the Blue Badge and, upon renewal, the applicant shall surrender the expired Blue Badge in exchange for a new one:

Provided that the authorised officer shall process the application within two months from the date of assessment:

Provided further that the Commissioner for the Rights of Persons with Disability shall authorise such award without delay.
