While I was sorting out some bills the other day, I made mention of my disability (MS and Fibromyalgia) and was asked if I was registered as Disabled. Actually, I don't know!
I've found information on what I need to do, but I would like to hear from anyone who can advise on whether it is necessary and if it carries any benefits.
I'm on ESA and waiting for my DLA, so not those benefits!

Places that need to know if you have a disabilty, for whatever reason, generally have their own criteria for deciding if you do.
The wording is still used but can apply to many criteria, the Blue Badge thing being one but not the only criteria.
