Its a DWP question, qualification for BB is from 2011 based on DLA requirements, but not supject to the benefit someone DOES NOT have to claim.

The claimiant suffers most of the conditions due to domestic abuse, domestic abuse the police let happen as partner was a "public figure", they have proof of that from ex partner in writing and writing/signature validated by ex partners old passport.

The BB info posted is the current BB UK legisaltion from May 2011, if its old I'm the Doctor and I'll see you all on BBC1 MSE

12. In order to create consistency across local authorities, we are changing the
legislative definition of “unable to walk or has considerable difficulty walking” to
“unable to walk or virtually unable to walk”. The latter is used by the Department
for Work and Pensions (DWP) when assessing applications for the Higher Rate of
the Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance (HRMCDLA).

13. As an award of HRMCDLA enables applicants to obtain a Blue Badge without
further assessment, using the DWP criterion will foster consistency in three ways:

•
all local authorities will have a much tighter definition to work within;
•
all Blue Badges which are awarded on the basis that the applicant is
unable to walk or virtually unable to walk will be consistent with all
automatic awards of HRMCDLA where a Blue Badge holder is unable or
virtually unable to walk; and
•
the majority of occupational therapists who will potentially carry out
independent medical assessments are familiar with the DWP definitions.

Given local council issued BB with no independent review of the medical evidence supplied (a copy of the NHS GP letter that was sent to ESA & DLA) how can a claimiant be denied such support by DLA entiltlement over 9+ years and in 17+ months of ESA assessment by DWP ?

The BB was an automatic award as the local authority deemed DLA was payable knowing the DLA was suspended and the reasons for such.

No. Not so, just impatient waiting for your considered reply

Your original #1 posed an interesting [ to me ] series of legal [ case law ] questions. I do I concede I have a thing about the begging line sig. But whilst I've teased you its still there. And yes I knew the thrust of your inquiry was DLA not BB I confess I used that to give you ample time to remove the bottom sig line

"" I'll see you on BBC1 MSE "" says it all, nothing further from me then.

- """ unable to walk "" rules REF BB's - most people here have known that for more than 5 or 6 months. It doesn't come in officially till next year [ in England - Scotland jumped first ] but many / not most / LA's in all UK areas have used that criteria for more than the last three or more months.

From the consultation link you posted it is interesting to note most the recommendations did not make the final draft amendments. Very few made it to legislation amendment in Scotland.

diamonds,

You will see from the below that all regions considered it, and did so a year ahead of the legal ' start point ' many actually implemented it much earlier than was required. Some were extremely hard line whilst others were less so and went with the minimum recommendation . The facts of the matter were and are that most BB fraud and misuse was caused by BB holders themselves, and that growing fraud led to these rule changes in the recognition that ' self assessment ' by the public when claiming a BB had to be stopped.

Unless an individual is pass-ported by HRM new BB claims and renewals of existing BB claims will however almost exclusively be be undertaken by certified OT's applying amongst others the walk [ and the virtual walk ] test.

If you are looking for help and advice on the two areas it may be helpful to you and others to post a separate thread on the (1) BB and (2) DLA issue to allow posters to advise you on each -.

I wish you well diamonds - HIT the "thanks" button ! YOU know you want to

My local council took 1 look at the GP's letter to the DWP supporting DLA/ESA and said fit the requirement for BB was passed on the DLAHRM and no independant assessment was needed due to the profound overlapping health issues & the BB applicant fufilled ALL DLA requirements for H/MRC & HRM and therefor was entilted to BB for the maximum 3 year issue period. So local authority and GP agree on BB thats assessed by DLA legislation.
