I know someone who gets the mobility component of DLA and yet walks up and down to town. Those are the sort of people who give every blue badge owner a bad name. On the other hand I have a friend who looks fit as a fiddle but is severely disabled and it took several attempts to get the badge with reams of forms to fill in and letter from doctor and specialist and appeals procedures and medical examinations. Some people must know how to fiddle the system to the detriment of the genuine claimants.

The idea that a child under 2 shouldn't need one is poppycock. It's hard enough coping with an able bodied toddler. I only got a glimpse of the program because somebody phone when it was on
