A double amputee war veteran dubbed a "real hero" by Prince Harry fears losing his blue parking badge again - for 'not being disabled enough.' Former Royal Marine Commando Ben McBean said he used his disabled badge this week but was reported by a warden to a council who questioned its legitimacy.
He now fears it will be taken away for a second time - after he battled for 13 years to have it reinstated. On a previous incident when he used it he had been labelled a "drain" on government resources, a "d******d" and told he "doesn't deserve the badge" for parking in a disabled bay as there were no other spots available.
Mr McBean lost an arm and a leg and was expected to die on the flight home from the battlefield in Afghanistan. But after making a remarkable recovery, his original disabled badge taken away from him when he ran the London Marathon a year later.
