Good morning. I’m currently on the sick. I have a range of problems, from mobility issues, diabetes, and depression and anxiety. Can I claim PIP, how do I go about it, and also how do I get a blue badge.

Hi @sandrarees, welcome to the community!
You can also take a PIP self-test to see if you might be eligible for the benefit. I hope this helps -

sandraTo apply for a Blue badge, if you don't automatically qualify then you'll need to look at your local councils website. All councils have their own criteria and if you don't automatically qualify an assessment will most likely be needed.
