Hi Julie
Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to tell. There is a backlog and we know that they are prioritising new claims. It will depend on whether they do a paper-based assessment or invite you to a telephone or video or face to face assessment. (Telephone is the most common). If they don't do a paper-based assessment it will then also depend on the availability of assessors where you live. (There is no information available on that). There are people who have heard within six weeks, but for many it has been much, much longer.
The issue you have with a blue badge is a common one and there is little you can do these days as the DWP has been reluctant to confirm that a claimant's PIP might continue until they have proof. Some people have applied directly to their council.
Sorry I couldn't reassure you - but the reality is that we just don't know the timescales.
