Hi, I saw this today on Benefit Tales. Blue Badges are apparently not being handed out automatically to claimants transferring from DLA to PIP.

I don't think this has already been posted. Take a look:

To be honest this is not new news, this has been the case since 2013 when PIP was introduced and was originally raised in the discussion documents prior to this.

Claimants can still make a direct claim for a Blue Badge to their Local Authority.
