Hi,
Doesn’t sound right to me. What reason did you apply? If you don’t automatically qualify then you will need to go through an assessment.

I apply because I struggle to get my dog in and out the car but I got 12 points where your meant to get 12 points 😐

It's very unlikely that you'll get a blue badge because of this reason. You mention 12 points but a blue badge isn't about scoring points.

PIP is about scoring points. Do you have a PIP mobility award? if so did you score the points for following and planning a journey? If you did then 12 points here do not automatically qualify you for a blue badge. You need to have scored 10 points for descriptor E to automatically be entitled to a BB.
