PIP review and blue badge was created by McMaddie
Hi,
We have been told that reviews are not being assessed in time but that payments will continue; it appears some people get extension letters and others don't. I rang my council to see how this will affect my blue badge - I have Aspergers - only to be told that even if I am still being paid my badge will be removed if I do not provide an extension letter, when I asked the DWP if my review would be assessed in time or would I get a letter they didn't know, they could only tell me my review form had been received and would be dealt with in due course, so what happens to my blue badge? Ask the council that issues it came the reply. Has anyone else come across this anomaly please and how did you proceed?
Thank you.

Hi McMaddie,
I hadn’t heard of this until your post.
Hopefully another reader may respond with their experience.
Regards
Pete

Hi the same happened to me. I was given regular repeated 3 month extension letters of award by dwp ( if I chased up) but the problem was you then had send for a blue badge for only 3 moths at a time and pay £10 each time, and it said it took nearly that to apply.
I asked the council what to do, so they said fill out the form as if you don’t have pip (so without passporting), and send in the 3 month letter and explanation letter. This was Gloucestershire council.
They processed it and sent me a 3 year one, without assessment and in about a fortnight.
Hopefully otheres will get the same treatment.
