Dear Jen,

People with fibro definitely qualify for a handicap hang tag, and also a

handicap license plate, provided that your name is included on the title

to the vehicle. I have been approved for handicap status in both

Tennessee and Arkansas, and the process was the same. You go to the

county courthouse where you buy your license plates and pick up a form

for a handicap tag. You fill out part of it, such as your name,

address, etc., and then get the doctor to fill out the medical portion

of it, indicating that walking is too difficult for you

Dear Jen,

I accidentally hit the send button before I was ready. In Tennessee at

least, they do not even question the word of the doctor. When I worked

for an ophthalmologist, I saw forms he completed listing poor vision as

the qualifying handicap. In both Tennessee and Arkansas, you qualify

for the plate ONLY if your name is included on the title and

registration. In addition to the plate, you also get a hang tag so that

you will have it when you are riding in another vehicle with someone who

is not handicapped. If your name is not on the title and registration,

then you qualify for the hang tag only.

Speaking on hang tags... do all of you know that it is illegal to drive

with the hang tag on your mirror? You are supposed to hang it only

after you are parked and remove it before backing out. Not too many

people follow this guideline, and I do not know of anybody ever getting

a ticket for this offense, but I thought it was worth mentioning here.

gentle hugs,

Sharon

Hi -

Go to the DMV (Dept of Motor Vehicles) in your area and get a form. The form lists the requirements. This then has to be filled ou by you and a section by your doctor. I just renewed mine. If the envy wasn't already sealed - I would list the reqirements for you.

Requirements vary by state. They just changed them here in Florida where it's almost impossible to get one unless you are wheelchair bound. Luckily I already had mine & just had to renew it.
