Blue Badge refused twice ... next steps ? was created by Sum
Dear Forum ,
I applied for a blue badge twice for my son , after his epilepsy diagnosis. Both applns were refused. Wonder if worth asking for review ?
2024 PIP award inc 12 pts mobility component for Planning and moving around , based on descriptor (F) 'cannot follow the route of a familiar journey without another person, assistance dog or an orientation aid.'
nil pts for moving around
First BB refusal was in Nov 23, before we had the PIP decision in Mar 24/MR in Jun24. The 6 month window to request a BB review the had lapsed by then.
Second BB refusal in Jun25. No change in PIP atm. But mobility has changed due to sciatica
Reason for refusal the first time was that he didn't meet the hidden disability criteria or prescribed medicines for pain from walking , or psychological distress
Reason for refusal the second time was that we had said he could walk a short distance , but pain and distress can take over but it varies.
i am confused. My brother is epileptic and has a BB, although lives in another borough. He had BB before PIP award.
i feel i am missing something in my understanding re hidden disabilities - should i ask for a review ?
Your thoughts ?

Hi Sum
Your question is outside the remit of the forum, we would advise you to seek advice from your local Welfare Rights Organisation: advicelocal.uk they will be able to take all your son's circumstances into consideration when giving you advice.
