Hi,You'll get to keep it until it expires. When you renew it, you'll need evidence to support your claim and an assessment could needed.To automatically qualify for a blue badge under PIP then you need to score at least 8 points in the moving around part of mobility.Following and planning a journey doesn't automatically qualify you, unless you live in Wales.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

To automatically qualify under these rules you need to have scored 10 points in activity 11E.https://www.contact.org.uk/news-and-blogs/new-blue-badge-rules-in-england-to-come-into-force-on-30-august/
Entitlement will also be extended to those who are assessed as having an enduring and substantial difficulty which causes them during a journey to either:
- Be unable to walk.
- Experience very considerable difficulty whilst walking, which may include very considerable psychological distress.
- Be at risk of serious harm when walking; or pose, when walking, a risk of serious harm to any other person.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
