I have been diagnosed with a form of pulmonary fibrosis and have a blue badge for parking etc. Does this mean that I am registered disabled? Please can someone enlighten me. Many thanks. !! P :-)
As has been said, there is no such thing as registered disabled.
IMO if you are in receipt of Disability Living Allowance you are classed as disabled by numerous organisations/bodies
In my experience, a blue badge just means a blue badge. Receiving DLA means you are registered disabled, although this is not formally said anywhere, but is usually what is asked for.
Forgive me please for being so slow tothank you all for your replies !!!
To answer you question, bednoobs, I was diagnosed in Aug 2010 and attended the hospital chest clinic in Nov when I was put on high dose steroids (6 per day). They worked wonders !! Now I am being weaned off them slowly. - now down to 2 one day and 1 the next. The biggest problem is weight gain - yuk!!! Breathing still difficult.!! P:-)
