Lost my badge

Hello everyone,
I have never really discussed my disabilities but I am sole carer to my mother who has dementia and I feel the need to unload and hopefully get some help for myself. I have Hashimotos disease, Spndylosis of the neck, Osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia and depression. I recently was refused renewal of my invalid badge because I drove myself to the interview, I managed it because I was having a 'good' day, also because I managed to walk into the building and round the car park. On a bad day I can barely walk round the house, I need a badge.

Have you made a claim for PIP ?
If your mobility problems persist for the majority of time you may qualify for PIP and be able to get your Blue Badge that way.
