The criteria for bus passes differ from area to area, some are given because you get pip others because you can't drive due to a condition;epilepsy for example. As for blue badge do you get pip mobility?2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

You can't claim carers allowance for yourself but someone else can claim it for looking after you but that will depend on their circumstances and what PIP award you receive. Do you live alone or with a partner? Do you claim any other benefits such as ESA?Being automatically entitled to a bus pass or/and a blue badge will depend on what PIP award you receive.These links may help.For the buss pass then you'll need to look at the criteria of your local council.
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.
