    Mobility is much more than about walking. Or do you really think it's safe for a deafblind (yes, I know they'll have someone with them) crossing a busy park?


    sh we have debated this alot we have agreed in the past that wide space is the issue not how close the space is to the shop

    A person who can walk may still need a wide space.

    How do you know they're not disabled? Or are you a doctor now?

  • Seriously, what do you want people to do to prove they're as entitled to use disabled parking as you are? Would getting DISABLED tattooed across our foreheads do it? Or would you prefer I got "multiple sclerosis, arthritis and chronic pancreatitis, can walk a limited distance but needs extra space to get out of car and may appear normal on first glance" tattooed along my face instead? :mad:

    They would've already had the examination.

    Why should they have to justify themselves?

    no not the case sh and you no it.

    dla ib blue badges are given out on supplied evidence and your word on it

    this is why now we are all being faced with medicals for dla /pip esa ect

    my council will give a b/b to anyone over 65 who say they need one no medical evidence at all

    i have never had a dla medical but i get a b/b because im on hrm

    medicals are the future to the problem
