PIP isn't awarded based on any diagnosis so it's impossible to tell you whether he can score enough of points needed for an award. This is because no one here knows anything about how his health conditions affect him.A blue badge doesn't automatically entitle anyone to PIP. What they look at it how your conditions affect you against the 12 PIP activities and whether you can do them regularly and reliably.0
