PIP review result was created by Judihelensmith
We submitted my daughter's PIP review in May 2023, the current award runs out 18.3.24. Can we find out if we are likely to get an answer before that date? Is there anything we can do to get her blue badge extended if we haven't heard before 18.3.24? Thanks

Hi Judihelensmith

There is a backlog with claims, DWP are concentrating on new claims, I have heard that they are catching up but no date when things will get back to normal.

I would phone DWP first thing in the morning and ask, quite often claimants are given a years extension to their claim.

You do not have to be in receipt of PIP to get a blue badge, although it does help, you could try and get a supporting letter from your daughters doctor, also contact your local authority and speak to the department, I know many blue badge claimants who do not receive PIP.
