A question about : PIP

Hi All

I have recently been awarded the lower level PIP ( both daily living and mobility components) and just thought I would ask everyone on here what else I might be entitled to now that I have some PIP? For example, I think I might be able to apply for Blue Badges, and someone suggested to me that I could get a concessionary cinema card.

Any other thoughts or details?

Best answers:

  • This is a really handy table of other things you might be entitled to.

    Also check with your local council and see if you qualify for a free bus pass.Good luck.
  • re the bluebadge, it has, well at least for my council, has to be 8 points for the walking, I got 14 points (10 for planning journeys), I was turned down for a bluebadge
    I got a letter from my specialist and involved my MP I now have a blue badge. I had wanted to appeal on their 4 points for movement at my tribunal but was advised to leave it till I came up for reassessment. I need a double knee replacement but my specialist wont do it yet because of my age.
