@TonyMon Hi, you don't need to be on PIP to qualify for a blue badge. Virtually every local authority has their own rules and regulations with every case treated on its own merits. Go ahead and apply, you've nothing to lose and possibly everything to gain. Season's Greetings.
Best wishes.

There are no guarantees in getting one. My wife who receives the day and night rate of Attendance Allowance predominately because of her mobility issues was refused a renewal by the council.
There are no appeal procedures set down by legislation but you can ask them to look at their decision again if you have more compelling evidence.
Good luck.

Yes every council have their own criteria for awarding Blue Badges and many are screening applications more severely because of the abuse that has been happening by users and their families. One person I know had three acessments and refused each time and mentioned it to a friend who is a health professional and by adding her name and what ever extra information a blue badge was awarded without further acessment.
