Last Car: Toyota C-HR Excel Hybrid...4 way 80kg hoistWhat’s this refund about guys I’m literally new to the scheme just put in an order for a motability car
Because of travel restrictions and COVID, insurance payouts have gone down so Motability’s insurers are giving some back to its customers. It was £50 last year, £60 this.
£10 increase compared to last year is of course welcome so thank you motability.
It’d be good if others followed suit. An example being the one-off Christmas bonus from the DWP which has been set at £10 from its inception five decades ago. While £10 was considered a large sum of money in 1972, it is not enough to help with the cost of Christmas today. Anti-poverty charity Turn2us has urged the Government to increase the bonus in line with inflation, saying it should be worth around £130 now.
It was the Heath government that gave that £10 in 1972 as a one off payment when inflation was rampant. Successive governments kept it going until it became permanent around 1979 I think. Despite it being a payment introduced because of inflation, it seems the effect of inflation on it wasn’t considered!
I always laugh at the £10 Christmas bonus. It must cost as much to administer it!
£60 insurance rebate received into my bank account this morning. As I’ve said on another thread, I now look forward to the £2,000 rebate based upon the inflated used car prices that Motability will be benefiting from (to the tune of far more than £2,000 per car, but we mustn’t be greedy). What? You don’t think we will get that? ??
