Blue Badge and PIP

Hi all, Quick Q on PIP and Blue Badge....If one has been issued a blue badge by their local authority, then that must mean that they have scored at least an 8 in Eng and NI, to get one of these. Does that then not translate into the same (as a min score) for PIP?

There are two ways of getting a blue badge.
1. Having been awarded motobility at standard or enhanced of PIP.
2. Having been assessed by OT or physio by the local authority.

You must have applied to your council, to get one.
An OT is an Occupational Therapist, you would had to provide proof of ID, passport photo and pay £10 fee and completed application form.
This is my opinion, so feel free to make your own mind up.
Hope this helps.
