Hi I had a letter from Derby City Council refusing a blue badge stating thus it don’t furfill the criteria 8 or more points in the moving around part of mobility AND/OR 10 points in the planning and following journey part of a mobile lily assesment
you are in receipt of 12points in the planning and following journey assessment. Therefore you are not entitled to a blue badge
can someone explained why having 12 points does not entitle me??
I am profoundly deaf and have considerably difficulty in contacting Derby

12 points In following and planning a journey doesn’t qualify you for a blue badge because it’s not part of the criteria. It doesn’t show you have considerable difficulty in walking or have physiological distress when following the route of a journey.You can apply again sending in relevant evidence to support your claim. You will also need to state why you think you should be entitled to the BB.0

Hello @pikeman27 I'm sorry to read about what's happened with your blue badge application, I've just moved your post over into our transport and travel category so that those in a similar situation can share their thoughts more easily
I've had a look at the 'Who can get a Blue Badge?' section on Derby City Council's website, and it expalins the following:Do you have any evidence that shows you cannot undertake any journey because it would cause overwhelming psychological distress?- 10 points (Descriptor E – You cannot undertake any journey because it would cause overwhelming psychological distress) in the “planning and following journeys” part of a mobility assessment for Personal Independence Payment
I'm sorry to read also that you're having trouble contacting the council. Is there anyone who could assist you with this, such as a family member or close friend?
The council says the quickest way to contact them is online, where you can type out your query.
Additionally, it says: Deaf people can text 07774 333 412.BSL signed video interpretation service

my son gets 12 points for planning so that enables us to get a car but because pip didn’t answer question about mobility they refused to renew badge?
Really doesn’t make sense as I told the woman at access, that the government will pay tens of thousands of pounds towards a motorbility car but the local councils won’t give people a free badge to park said car with??0
