By law? Can we get blue cards?
Blue badge holders are not just for those with a disability. They are for those who experience mobility problems, totally different. Nice idea thoughBy law? Can we get blue cards?

No your not classed as disabled! As being a very sporty and active human being one person I look up to is Sir Steve Redgrave and he is a diabetic. Diabetes shouldn't stop you from doing anything you love. You could only be classed as disabled if you have other health problems due to your diabetes
That's me then.Blue badge holders are not just for those with a disability. They are for those who experience mobility problems, totally different. Nice idea though
Well, not necessarily. Diabetes is classed as a disability but I would not be eligible for a Blue Badge as I have no mobility problems. That's not to say this would apply to all diabetics. There will be some who maybe struggle to walk or have unfortunately suffered amputations where mobility clearly is an issue.Isn't that the same thing mo, I think disabled blue badge holders have mobility problems, forgive me if im misunderstanding

That's correct Brett. So, even though by law we have a disability, unless it affects your mobility, you won't get a badge. Having said that, I don't actually know what the mobility criteria is. Maybe someone else can help ?Sorry mo, I did misunderstand
re read and got it now lol. So you can be classed as disabled (diabetic or other) and not entitled to a badge. But ONLY if your disability causes mobility issues.

Or doe.Thanks.
Thought the d would be diabetic.
Hi Donald.Sorry... To me, if you need help because you have severe health needs impacting on your abilities.. Then yes, apply for disability anything. It has to be severe though..
Anybody else is not to me disabled..
There are too many people getting disability or Carers allowances that really do not deserve them. I have lots of peoplearound my town that are just on the take..and it makes me angry when I looked after myself and I do know someone the same age etc, type 1 the same length of time as me.. And they are on every benefit... And I work... It is infuriating!!!
