So sorry to hear about your experiences, I hope we can help. You mentioned that you weren't getting a higher rate of PIP- did you do an MR, or have you been to tribunal?
It's still worth applying if you're not automatically eligible, but you'll need to have very severe problems moving your legs or arms. The application will be more complicated, because you'll have to describe your mobility problems in a lot of detail.
I get standard rate PIP but applied for a blue badge, the process required more input and explanation of why I felt I needed the badge, but I did succeed in getting one so it is definitely still worth trying!
There is lots of information here.

If you're not automatically entitled to a blue badge then look at the criteria for your local council as they are all different. People have blue badges and they don't have PIP or DLA. Most likely an assessment will be needed before they make a decision.
