Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Government's announcement of 29 June 2018, People with hidden disabilities to benefit from Blue Badges, whether people who were assessed before the publication of the new guidelines will be required to undertake a new assessment for eligibility.

The new guidelines are not yet in force. As now, existing badge holders will have their continuing eligibility checked if and when they re-apply for a badge when their current badge expires.
