Thank you a little advice please

You cannot claim Disability Living Allowance and PIP at the same time. You can apply for a blue badge online and as long as you meet the criteria

Hello @Maclin Pleased to meet you. Sorry to hear this .

I believe there are changes around Blue Badges invisible illness or certain conditions , disabilities..  Are being counted.  Have a look on the news webpages for further details and information.

You could reapply.  Even appeal any decision I am sure you can. 

Might be worth speaking to CAB for additional advice..

Just a thought.

Take care.
