Gina Cook, who is recovering from bowel cancer, was at the dentist on August 21 when she left her car parked opposite Dicconson Terrace in Lytham.
Gina left her Blue Badge on show but she got back to the car to find a £35 fine being slapped on her windscreen.
Gina explained: "I was told the I was being given the ticket because he couldn't see the expiry date as the badge was upside down - but all he needed to do was to turn his head slightly to see it.
"After the year I've had I just thought - I don't need this.
"He said If I appealed I would probably be successful but then what's the point in issuing it?"
After writing to Parkwise - who issue the tickets on behalf of the council - Gina's fine was quashed.
A spokesperson for Parkwise said: "A motorist using a Blue Badge is liable to receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) when a Civil Enforcement Officer is unable to see a valid expiry date. This approach is used to ensure that fraudulent Blue Badge use is minimised across the county. In this particular case, the motorist successfully appealed and the PCN has been cancelled."
But despite winning her appeal - Gina is still unhappy at the hassle she had to go through.
"It's the principle of it. You shouldn't have to go through that process if they are going to let you off anyway. A warning would have sufficed for something that trivial.
"People should be wary of getting a ticket because I've seen first hand how strict they can be."
