Matt -

Have you asked your doctor about getting a regular ol' disability

parking placard for your car, rather than the VA one? You might very

well qualify for it - it just requires that you can't walk a certain

distance. Rules vary by state.

If you don't qualify for a permanent one, you might easily qualify for

a temporary one, which usually lasts for six months and then can be re-

evaluated at the end of that period if you still are having problems.

That would get you through the holiday shopping season!

If one doctor refuses to consider it and you feel that you meet the

criteria based on the Department of Transportation rules in your

state, just ask another of your doctors. Any doctor can sign the form

for you.

Pick up the form at any Dept of Transportation office (or often the

State DOT offices have them online so you can print them off). The

rules to qualify are printed right on the form. It simply requires a

doctor's signature, and then you take the form back into the the DOT

office and that's it. No examination required.
