PIP appeal evidence

Wife is currently waiting for her appeal after a MR when her PIP decision after being moved from DLA HRC LRM to Standard Care ad no mobility with PIP.
I understand we have to supply evidence to help with the appeal and was wondering if the fact she has been in receipt of a blue badge for the last 4 years or so that was awarded after an assessment by our local council and subsequently re awarded when it expired would be worth mentioning.
When we initially went to CAB they suggested not to mention it on the appeal as it could be used against us. Not sure why but thats what they said.
Would there be any benefit in including this info and would it be of any help regarding the appeal to demonstrate her limited mobility.

A blue badge won't help a PIP claim. Evidence that shows how her conditions affect her is what's needed. Do you help your wife? if so then you could write a letter of support, telling them what she struggle with and what you do to help her. Have a copy of the PIP descriptors next to you when writing the letter.0
