People could have colostomy bags etc. They need the extra room to manage them.
I have a colostomy plus arthritis. I was given a Radar key along with initial colostomy supplies when discharged from hospital. There are many "hidden" diseases which require the use of disabled toilets. We do not go around with a label stuck on our foreheads. So thank you for it pointing out in your post.
As for the Radar key, the vast majority of disabled toilets do not require one. In fact, although I carry one, I have never had to use it anywhere.
One other bonus(?) of having a colostomy is that I have a card which allows me to request the use of staff toilets in shops etc which dont have public toilets. Again, so far, I have never used it.
