I suggest you get your facts right, before shooting your mouth off.
You don't get a 'free' car, along with a blue parking badge.
If awarded high level Mobility Disability, you have the option of help with a car.
Hopefully the new government will weed out these fraudulent claimants, and their friends who turn a blind eye to their crimes, besides a bit of moanining on public forums, and the money can be directed at those genuinely in need.
As for grassing, you can bet your sweet bippy I would.
Stealing is wrong, and there's always a victim. Which in this case is those who are truly deserving, and the public at large who are footing the bill for these frauds.
