Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ

My full name is showing, how can I stop it?


Was the badge awarded due to automatic entitlement or did your Local Authority assess you?

If it was automatic then I assume that you score at least 8 points for the Moving Around activity.

If by assessment then the criteria that the LAs use is more like the old DLA criteria than that used for PIP.

Either way I'm not sure there is a problem unless I have misunderstood.

My badge was due for renewal but when I applied for a new one they told me that I didn't have enough points for the moving around part (4) so I appealed and they asked me to download a questionnaire which they supplied (mid Sussex council) maybe about 20 questions after completion. I waited about three weeks then they sent me a letter stating that my appeal was successful and I was entitled to a new badge I then emailed them to ask if the questionnaire was from them or from the government but they didn't reply I hope this is a little clearer Thanks K

From your post, you were assessed by your Local Authority.
