After 1 year of waiting after submitting my PIP review the DWP gave themselves another year to complete the process. At the last moment (whilst I was completing my local council’s own Blue Badge application online I received a new certificate in the post extending my award for another year! So you may well get this right at the date that your Blue Badge runs out. If not then use the information that you have already used for yourPIP review to apply via your local council’s own Blue Badge scheme. This delay also affected my Motability Car ‘hire’ as it was due to be replaced at that date - it has now been extended for that extra year too. The official reason given for these delays is that New Claimants are being prioritised and there has been a big surge in New Claimants’ numbers since the Pandemic.
