Blue Badge renew

Denise11

Hi

Please can anybody help?  My Blue Badge is up for renewal but I have lost the letter and forms from the DWP which are needed to be sent for it to be renew.  Does anyone know I can get copies and if so, where?

Thanks - Denise11

HI,

You will need to ring DWP to ask them to send you a copy of your PIP award letter. Number is 0800 121 4433

To automatically qualify for a blue badge you need to score at least 8 points in the "moving around" part of PIP or 10 points for descriptors E in following and planning a journey.

The quickest way to apply is online. https://www.gov.uk/apply-blue-badge

I very recently renewed my BB and for my local council i needed to have at least 6 months remaining on my PIP award to automatically qualify.

Hi @Denise11 I hope you manage to get a copy of your letter I have just renewed my badge

Ir does surprise me that they are only valid for a 4 year period and not the length of your PIP award. Suppose it may be down to the cost element as you have to pay for new renewal

Hi  

Thank you poppy123456 and janer1967.  I will 'phone that number tomorrow.  No, I don't understand why you can't get a blue badge for life even if they charge £10 pa.  Thanks again
