At present people (among others) with the Higher rate of the Mobility Component can apply for the Blue Badge to access a range of parking concessions.  When Personal Independence Payments(PIP) is introduced next year,  how  people get a blue badge is up for discussion.  The Department for Transport is asking for your views

3 of their ideas are - Idea 1 – No link with Personal Independence Payment,  Idea 2 – Automatic right to a blue badge for people getting the enhanced mobility component and Idea 3 – Automatic right to a blue badge for people who score 8 or more for the ‘moving around’ question (cognitive functions).    End of consultation: 2/10/2012
