The thing is there is a lot of vets of have DV plates who are NOT physically disabled. I know quite a few who qualify based on a mental health issue, sleep apnea etc. Texas already has a big vet population. That makes it hard for everyone else to find parking. Most vets already have at least a PCP who can sign the form if they qualify. It’s really not that hard.
It's not a waste of money because it separates the real disabled veterans from the fake ones. Nowadays you just have to be 50% or more to qualify for DV plates. Just because a Vet has PTSD shouldn't be an excuse to park in handicapped parking spots.
@@joseochoa7043the good thing with this new law is that now it's going to be more difficult to qualify for a place card/ISA. Placard and plate eligibility is based on a medical condition that meets the legal definition of a disability. "Disability" means a condition in which a person has: • Visual acuity of 20/200 or less in the better eye with correcting lenses. • Visual acuity of more than 20/200 but with a limited field of vision in which the widest diameter of the visual field subtends an angle of 20 degrees or less. •Mobility problems that substantially impair a person's ability to move around; these problems can be caused by: Paralysis. Lung disease. Uses portable oxygen Cardiac deficiency. Wheelchair confinement. Arthritis, neurological, or orthopedic condition. Foot disorder. Other medical condition causing a person to use a brace, cane, crutch or other assistive device. A parking placard or plate with the ISA is only valid when being used by a person with a disability or someone who is driving the person with the disability.
Not all disabled veterans plates are for physically disabled vets. I know a veteran that has one because they were listed as disabled for alcoholism. I know another veteran that was listed as disabled due to PTSD after being sexually assaulted. Both were entitled to get a DV tag however neither are physically disabled enough to need to park in a handicap parking spot.
What is enough? Sure those might not be a good reason but do you know their other conditions? Burn pits have hurt veterans lungs but they look normal except they can't walk long distances...
Alcoholism isn't a rated disability. It can be added to major depression or other mental health disabilities. Being raped is a major trigger for depression and holds its own classification MST, please don't talk about what you know nothing about!
@@gunnaur how are they unable to get out of their vehicle and walk 20 get further. As for not talking about something I know nothing about you don't know my story. Sexually abused as a minor, raped as a teen and as a soldier, raised by neglectful alcoholics. I refuse to use any of that as an excuse or view myself as a victim. I sure as hell don't consider myself disabled physically. My daughter and mother however are living with kidney failure and heart failure that causes extreme weakness and fatigue and need those spots.
I don’t see how veterans have so much trouble? For the most part veterans are up in age and you can see their disability… some of this young not so veterans running in and out the store parked in those spots seem to get away with it all the time!!!!
What a waste of time and money, if they already have plates.

@@joseochoa7043Again waste of time and money 💰
So how do you report someone if they are packed in disabled parking without the proper tags?

Are you serious when they gave my husband disabled license plates they gave him ones for mirror as well.

@@monikasturm2575 so you do understand that they may have hidden disabilities like Copd or something
@@monikasturm2575 at what point does arthritis in the ankles, knees and hips become enough for you to understand that they might be disabled?

A veteran Is a veteran. What is a “young not so veteran?”
They have disabilities that you don't see.
You don’t always “see” a disability
