hi here in the uk I didnt have to go to my doctor i got the forms from
social services who deal with disability benifits. I wasn't entilteld to
money but I was able to get the disabled badge for my car. I even know
people who have been given a car also!!! Just because we might not be in
pain 24/7 doesn't mean we shouldn't qualify. I hope you can get one, keep
pressing for it.
