blue badge and bus pass was created by Olive
Hi,

Just wanted to let people know (if you don't already know) that on:-

PIP - Mobility Activities

I was awarded 1e = 10 points for Planning and following journeys.

With this score I was able to apply for a blue badge (costs £10) and also a buss pass (which was free).

I knew I could apply for a blue badge but I didn't know about the bus pass as well.


Hope this info helps others.

Further Information for those applying for the TFW, (Transport for Wales), Disabled Persons Concessionary Travel Card.

Points are not able to be added together, as I think they can be for the two mobility components when applying in England - you will need one of the three below:

8 points under descriptor 7 - Communicating verbally, OR
8 points under descriptor 12 - Moving Around, OR
12 points under descriptor 11 - Planning and following a journey

I'm not sure whether this is the same in Scotland?

I have checked the criteria on the Gov.Wales site and can see no reference to PIP activity 7, just the two Mobility activities.
