Would blue badge and ESA awards be of any help with my recent PIP application?

HI,
Would a blue badge award without assessment (just sent in many specialist reports) and support group NS ESA be of any help with my recent PIP application.
I was awarded the badge online and no walking assessment done last September as I really could not face the disappointment of a failed PIP application as in 2015 I was only awarded 6 points and gave up.
thanks.

Hi there and welcome to the community
A blue badge application won't get you pip or the esa support group
They are different benefits with different criteria
But there would be no harm in sending them in as evidence -
As Jane rightly says ESA and PIP are completely different benefits, and I doubt that either a blue badge award or ESA award would be of much value.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

Hi @postmanpat68 Have you already sent your PIP form in?

Hi Tori.
I did send off the PIP form last Tuesday but I also sent the Blue Badge award, ESA Support group award notice and another specialist pain clinic report as extra evidence just this morning.
I thought to myself what have I got to lose.
