ืื ืืื - Daniel Isabel Oakeshott What a load of dog whistling bollox. Unusual demands? Like adapting the controls because they don't have the use of their legs? You think 50% of motability customers are bogus? Having that attitude regarding disabilities, I'm not surprised they wouldn't let you be accredited.
David Nealon Darren ๐ฆ Richard Tice MP ๐ฌ๐ง Rupert Lowe MP Free cars? Silly sausage Disabled people do have there carers drive them as they can't drive because of disability. Wow wish I didn't put that ยฃ4000 down on the motability car as it non refundable. You keep harping free car ๐คฃ
Isabel Oakeshott That's where a lot of the EVs they couldn't shift any other way are being hidden. Have a bit of a dig ... It's a depreciation tsunami which could bring a Motability down when it comes home to roost.
AlanG Simon Kelly Clara๐๐โโฌ๐ฆ Richard Tice MP ๐ฌ๐ง I'm a taxpayer who drives a motability car for my disabled daughter. I paid ยฃ4000 grand non returnable payment. What's your problem disabled people having a vehicle to transport them. I genuinely want to know what your problem is with disabled people?
Joe C ๐King of Crows ๐ Politics UK All that is my daughter who has learning disabilities.Yet I never got motability for her till she went blind and has always had mobility problems As a parent and I see ignorant politicians targetting people like my daughter .I will always protect my child that's what parents do.
Richard Tice MP ๐ฌ๐ง The thing is, if you get motability (i.e. a car) you lose the mobility proportion of PIP.
Politics UK This is a lie Not everyone who's on disability allowance will get motability. Do you want to strip independence from those in wheelchairs like children and adults. How about those who are not independent and are blind. Those who need to be cared for the rest of there lives.
Anon Adam Fare ๐ค๐ค๐ The taxpayers also have to pay part of the wages, for employees of multi-billion corporations like Amazon. Therefore, if you are worried about taxpayers paying for something unjust, then start there. And for the record, motability contributes more than its fair share of taxes.
Isabel Oakeshott 16.1m people are registered as disabled in the UK. 15.3m don't have a tax payer funded vehicle. 815,000 (5%) currently have motability.. No doubt there'll be some who take advantage of the scheme but surely the majority of users will genuinely need the it?
Basil ๐ฌ๐ง๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ๐ฎ๐ช Isabel Oakeshott Motability cars have free MOT and free service checks.
Basil ๐ฌ๐ง๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ๐ฎ๐ช Isabel Oakeshott They are NOT FREE, they are funded by motability and paid for from invalidity benefit or PiP, it's a little like leasing, you spend your allowance on the package which includes tax, insurance and maintenance, if you hand the car back damaged you pay a charge
Pete Hine ๐ฌ๐ง Isabel Oakeshott You're clearly not their friend. If you were you'd understand why they have a LEASED motability car. Not free.
D F Peter Prefect ๐ Isabel Oakeshott Not only do you need to get PIP but you need to get 12 points in the motability part to receive a badge.
Isabel Oakeshott Motability - a very obvious issue but thereโs no political motivation/bravery to resolve it. An MP who dared to even mention it would be mercilessly pilloried. However, if they means-test winter fuel payments, for the sake of consistency, they should do so for all benefits.
Isabel Oakeshott You've just totally obliterated any respect that I was harbouring for your views on ANYTHING. My late partner was diabetic (excellent control) suffered with arthritis in every joint, without motability would have had difficulty leading any form of meaningful life or employment
