Closed Ulcerative Colitis & Crohn's Disease to be classed as a Disability!

Closed on

The Government should recognise Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease as disabilities and become more aware of the daily problems that these conditions present to sufferers.
More and more facilities are available in Shopping Centres where parking can be debilitating when access is swiftly required to conveniences.
With the classification of disability, sufferers of these conditions can, without stigma or ridicule, park in disabled bays where there always seems to be availability when out in public places.
Even a different type of coloured badge would be of benefit to inform Council Operatives (Traffic Wardens, Parking Attendants) and others like Shopping Centre Security, etc.
