Hi,
There is no need for your council to have the PIP decision as part of your blue badge application.
There are many people with a blue badge who are on no benefits at all.
I think the simplest thing for you is to send in the evidence you would supply to your PIP review and a copy of the letter informing you of the extension and any other evidence of your disability you may have received with your application form to the council.
I hope this helps
Regards
Pete

Hi freddy,
I encountered exactly the same problem last year.
I took photos of my extension award notice plus a photo of my ugly mug and applied online (this was after a phone call to my council blue badge department advising me to do so) and I got my badge after paying online via an e mail link I was sent.
It was only a short extension, can't remember how long for, but not much more than six months, and I duly got my badge.
It's up to you as to whether a 'short fix' will do for now and is worth the £10 admin fee, but at least my local council were fine with it.
I hope this is helpful for now.
Regards,
Phrank.
