have been refused mobility on pip and now refused blue badge renewal, I am wondering do pip now converse with blue badges as pip lied horrendously on my assessment and ignored that factthat I struggle daily and and that i cannot get around anywhere e to unfamiliar places,

alone,my doctor gives me ayearly letter, they denied this on assessment form and said I was capable of planning a jouney and following it- I have NEVER been able to it causes me much

anxiety, I struggle to keep upright the pressure onmy lumber is too great andi am appealing, what should I do- idont dare complain about pip or iwould lose thecare part whichi have for another year and half but I reallyneedthe renewal of badge thankyou

No they don't talk to each other, in fact the criteria for the two are different and the Blue Badge test is very similar to the old DLA test.

I can't speak to the BB, but in regard the PIP your post suggests that the reasons for your anxiety is to do with your back problems, the PIP Going Out activity only consider problems that are caused by mental health, cognitive or sensory problems, so you may struggle to score points for this.

Have a look at the PIP Claim guide for more information.
