Hi Bingomick I'm not sure about benefits you could ring BLF they have a benefits advisor but the blue badge you should get one. Ring your local council they deal with blue badge, some councils say you have to claim PIP before you will get a blue badge others like mine will give you a blue bade without claiming PIP you just have to have a assessment good luck

Hi I have a blue badge but don't claim any benefits waiting to hear about attendance allowance 😷

Hi it's not about what illness you have but how it affects you. At your age you would need to apply for Attendance Allowance and there is no mobility element any more only the care one.

Look at Govt.UK and you will find lots of info on there (if you are in the UK).
