I have a disabled placard, helps most of the time.

Make an appointment with your doctor and fill out the form. Next COPD is a disability and you have every right to have one. It's up to you how you use it however when you shop for groceries or shop period it comes in handy. As a retired military member l took pride no permanent injuries however I was advised to apply for disability COPD, sleep apnea and right knee and l am receiving disability payments, it's your right and never be ashamed about your disability.

Both my wife and I have cards. Actually, I didn't actually apply for mine. When I got out of hospital following that MI, I was contacted by the issuing authority to send them a fee. When I asked why, they replied that the Surgeon had applied for it for me, but they wouldn't be allowed to send it until the cash was to hand - I sent it. Janice (her indoors) had to apply so she had one when I was not able to take her out, but was driven by our younger daughter. No problem; the doctor filled in the forms and sent them in, she paid by bank transfer, and received hers in due course.

Well, that is something I need to check out! I'll ask my primary Dr. About getting a placard on monday.

Got one in the same manner as all the above. In Louisiana they also give you what looks like a drivers license but says handicap driver in case a cop would question you.
