Also some people in work claim PIP to help ensure they can continue to work. I know people who claim it and work.
This is from .govuk
You’re disabled under the Equality Act 2010 if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a ‘substantial’ and ‘long-term’ negative effect on your ability to do normal daily activities.

Friends of ours have a partially deaf child they are entitled to various benefits and a blue badge.
So to you it looks like they are only claiming the blue badge because they are deaf but in reality they have got it because of their other conditions which means it isn't safe for them to walk down the road and have to be driven virtually everywhere.
This also goes for people who have neurodiversity. So you may be told they have autism but you won't be told they also have arthritis or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Then you will get people claiming they got their blue badge/PIP/DLA due to the autism, when if you talk to people who help those complete blue badge/benefit forms it is actually the other condition which the assessor(s) use."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
