[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 575232, member: 94045"] It might, in very limited circumstances, stop you working in the circumstances you say, but it doesn't stop you being capable of working. Two different things. Unless a diabetic is restricted because of diabetes-induced complications or other problems he/she is capable of working. In my opinion, only those INCAPABLE of working due to illness/disease should be entitled to sickness benefits, which used to be called Incapacity Benefit. The Blue Badge scheme is intended for those unable to walk very far in order that they can park nearer facilities such as shops. [/QUOTE]
