what a normal Dr can see and what a government assessor dr can see are different
Nonsense. They all see the same thing. If I was a government Dr assesor and I thought they were genuine I'ld sign them a badge
its not nonsense i know of a girl who is confined to a bed and government dr's have declared her fit for work

Non of that has anything to do with parking blue badges !?

i didn't say it did, it shows what most people think and what people working for the government think are not always the same
It's nonsense because you can't say "all" government dr's are heartless. I wouldn't be? Just because one or two news paper articles or a person you know is having a bad experience doesn't mean there all bad. I've seen what appear to be perfectly able people having blue badges. I never question because it's none of my business.
If you need a blue badge you will get one, plenty of people who need them never apply and plenty who don't need them will claim they are disabled
I also know of a woman who has spent her whole life on benefits and when her daughter turned 18 and moved out to live with her boyfriend she was left facing losing all her benefits.... So she did the only thing she could do, went to the GP and got a diagnosis of depression and is now in a cat and mouse game with the DWP who deems her fit for work but she keeps upping the stake with her 'depression' and getting the gp to write letters supporting her continued need for disability benefits. Previously she never had any health problems and has even had a couple of foreign holidays since her sudden and suprising diagnosis.
Eventually she'll lose her battle but in the mean time she's taking money away from people with genuine disability.
people who need extra room to open car door fully wont get one, its not in the criteria for giving one.
strange because GP's letters are no longer enough to get you any benefits and depression is not seen as a reason in its self not to work
It depends on the reasons, my mother inlaw has had bilateral hip replacements and RA she has a blue badge.
What she doesn't do is go around telling every random stranger in car parks her complete medical history.
On the other hand the woman in this thread might be one of those people who decided one day she had a mobility problem but never applied for a badge, or she may have had a twisted ankle and just decided she needed more room.
Then again she could be like the woman mentioned in your links have been dying of breast cancer and needed more room for bone mets which can happen quickly so not had time to apply for the badge.

My point is you don't know and neither do I and if someone NEEDS a badge they will get one
