I’m applying for a disability blue badge.
on the online form it’s asking for my disability points awards.
I don’t know this I don’t have the letter that shows this?
Where or how can I find this out ?

    Hi @gunit, welcome to the community 😊 Hopefully we can help you out with this

    This sounds like it's talking about either from a PIP assessment or WCA (Work Capability Assessment). I would double check with the local authority which they mean, but that is what it sounds like. Have you had either of those assessments?

    As a blue badge is about travelling I'm just going to put this into our transport and travel category 🙂

    yes I have.
    I’ve got my awards letter but I’m missing page three and apparently the award scores are on that.
    im actually deaf so I can’t call them.
    Was hoping to do it online but you have to call them.
    I’ve got a friend calling a few numbers for me.
    hopefully they will send in a copy

    Yes, it's unfortunate but the parts of the DWP that deal with disability only allow communication via calling. It really is… well, I don't think I have the words to put what I truly think about it 😅 I am glad you have a friend who is able to help you. Hopefully you can get the points awarded and then get your blue badge. Let us know how you get on.

    he’s got through and they’re sending on the award letter.

    Thanks for your time
