Go for it Mark... I get so upset with the whole Disabled Badge thing. I have had such a time with dealing with idiots and it.

About 10 years ago in the UK you could walk into your local social services and say "I have xxxx give me a badge" and even if you only had it in your fingers then you got it.

Then... the laws got much stricter...
You only get the badge if:
you receive the higher rate of the mobility component of the Disability Living Allowance;
you receive a War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement;
you use a motor vehicle supplied for disabled people by a Government Health Department;
you are registered blind;
you have a severe disability in both upper limbs, regularly drive a motor vehicle but cannot turn the steering wheel of a motor vehicle by hand even if that wheel is fitted with a turning knob; or
you have a permanent and substantial disability which means you are unable to walk or have very considerable difficulty in walking.

The walking one... you cannot walk for more than 100m before resting and pain becoming overwhelming.

bizzare.. though I do go mad when people who don't need them get them.

Go get em Mark!!!! xxxxxx
