Delayed PIP review Blue Badge problem was created by Pink_brookie
I completed paperwork for my PIP review in December 2023. However, when I phoned them in August as I was starting to panic, I was told that my claim had been extended for a year as the assessments are running up to 12 months behind. A letter would go out to me.
That’s okay but I’ve only just received the letter. I immediately completed the renewal for my Blue Badge which expires on 2/10. The turnaround time for that is 11 weeks. Anyone else in this situation, any advice gratefully received.

Hi Erica
I don't know whether you have used your full name as your forum name - but if you have, I would suggest that you follow the link and change it. Look for "My full name is showing"

I'm sorry, there is very little you can do about it, but contact your council and see if they can speed up the process.

Had no idea and hope I have now changed it.

Hi, maybe you can ask your council if they can give you an update on the wait?
I know a few thousand are in this predicament due to long wait times with PIP assessments, and also with Blue badge applications and renewals, you are definitely not alone.
If there is ever a problem with your blue badge expiry, you only have to show your PIP extension letter and that should be sufficient evidence to your entitlement to a current blue badge.
