Hi fmoss1
In answer to your first question, the answer is no
Question 2; there is a backlog in reviews, we are unable to inform you about the time it takes as it varies from region to region, some take a few weeks others take many months.
Question 3, how do you know you have only been given 9 months if you have not yet heard from PIP?
Contact DWP and find out what is happening, inform them that not knowing is affecting your blue badge.
