Congratulations on getting your blue badge Hun, I’m so pleased for you 😊. I’ve waited a couple of weeks now to see if I’ve got mine. I think I’ll chase them up if I haven’t heard by the end of the week. I’m keeping everything crossed for your pip benefit. Please let us know when you hear about it.

Take care and love and hugs xx🤗

Hi sonyaW

I had to go to face 2 face, they asked what my condition was what medication I’m on, how my mobility is at home and out and about, how far I can walk before I need to take a break. And about on going treatments I’m getting. Xx hope this helps you x

I only had to have a phone assessment to get mine, I don't know if this is due to different councils or they just decided on the amount of evidence, but I would definitely look at applying for one, it does make a massive difference, it gives one less thing to worry about day to day ☺

Glad you have received your blue badge, it really does help, I would be lost without mine, hope your pip doesn't take to long it's horrible waiting isn't it. I sent my review forms back in January and still waiting. Have you been waiting long? Fingers crossed. Trace xxx

Good luck with PIP, I got mine a couple of years ago, got enhanced rate care but at the time I only had aspergers and mental health issues. I should be entitled to more now my physical health is worse but I'm too afraid of losing what I have that I'm going to what till my renewal to put it in
