To be fair, the blue badges are allocated to people with many varying conditions. Just because you've seen someone running on occasion does not necessarily mean that they are not entitled to their badge. They could have a condition that is not immediately obvious or one which gives them good days and bad days.
Garinda, hope you don't mind my asking but just wondering.....you have mentioned before that you have Parkinson's disease.
Does this entitle you to a blue badge?
The only reason I am bringing this up is to illustrate a point in that it is a condition with good days and bad days and was wondering if you are entitled to a blue badge if you have Parkinson's.
