New PIP claim and Blue Badge was created by Shopdoll
Hi everyone. I applied for PIP online back in October and still waiting to hear back. In the meantime I applied to the local council for a blue badge and had a face to face assessment yesterday. My blue badge application was approved. Should I inform the DWP about this development? Thanks in advance.

Hi Shopdoll
Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
Have you yet had an assessment? if not then you can send it in to add to your evidence, it will do no harm, make sure you add your name and NI number to each page you send in and send it by recorded delivery.
Remember you can ask for a copy of your assessors report 48 hours after being assessed, this report is used by the decision maker to make a decision.

Hi Gary, thanks for your reply. No I haven’t had any PIP assessment yet. I’ll send my Blue Badge confirmation through to them anyway. The local council used the same medical evidence I gave to the DWP for the PIP claim but also assessed me in person.
