It comes up constantly, especially with young children. Every time they go to get some other improvement to their lives they have to prove themselves again. It comes up fairly regularly where they have to produce all of these reports every time they are doing something, and they need to have them up to date. They have to go back to the consultants and look for the reports. It is something where there should be a pass or a badge to say they have a permanent disability. They should not have to prove they have it when going from one place or one Department to another for whatever it is.
