Even before that I never judged anyone who I so parking in a disabled bay, who looked 'healthy'. They may have had two false legs for all I knew.

Sorry rind i will apologise because my last statement did look like i was judging in general but infact i am actually referring to (sorry small gripe) someone that i know getting it who dosent actully need it when there are many out there that do..and when i saw the program tonight it kind of infuriated me somewhat to see families that do genuinly need it and others that are just taking the p... out of the system .
what i am saying rindy is in a lot of cases not enough research is done into the individual and their medical cases for the authorities that be to decide a case and alot goes down to what is put on to a form rather than investigating actual needs ..
