That would totally depend on circumstances and what, if any means tested benefits you claim.

Automatically being entitled to a blue badge will depend on where the claimant scored the points in the mobility part. If it was 8 points or more in the moving around part of PIP then this will entitle them automatically. Following and planning a journey doesn't ....yet. Local councils haven't yet changed this part.

Hi @Destiny, you may like to try this grants search to see if there's anything you may be eligible for.

For mobility scooters try looking on gumtree in your area, or even on local facebook groups. You'll be amazed at the amount of people selling them and they are always that expensive.

Thank you poppy.
