Pip and Blue Badges was created by carer89
I am a benefits worker. I am getting a lot of queries concerning blue badges. Because of the backlog, PIP renewal claims are affected and not renewed by the date on the blue badge renewal. Therefore blue badges are not getting renewed by the council. Is DWP issuing standard letters to cover people while the backlog is happening?

Hi carer89

Welcome to the forum.

You might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is; www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum

We are hearing from the forum members who are having issues with their local authority and renewal of blue badges due to delays in their PIP renewal.

You don't need to be in receipt of the mobility component to be awarded a blue badge, a good doctors letter can be useful.

I am not aware of the DWP issuing letters to claimants during the backlog.
