Andy I was going to respond to the comment sticky said , but Andy I think you’v said what i was going to say.
Mobility/ Motability Grant have been helping disabled people for a long time, they have a good bit of experience in dealing with the different need of applicants, they’ll probably already know that this type and that type of disability need this type and that type of help . and when you tell then your income / benefits they’ll already know what you get what you need to spend it on and if you have anything left each month rent , mortgage, gas, electricity , fuel, council tax and if you’v any money left FOOD.
They’ll know you need heated seats electric closing boot , self park , wider seats ect ,
if they did’nt help disabled customers with the car to suit their disability , then the disabled person would need to take a basic car and it then does’nt suit their needs therefore they end up not using the car because they cant get their chair in or close the boot. ( but when they return it with 4000 miles on it in three years, motability are saying thanks we’ll make a lot on this when we sell it , instead of someone using the car and having 60000 on it , or was that the plain to start with i wounder …
i think STICKY needs to remember disabled people struggle a lot with everyday simpl things like closing a boot.
maybe motability need to change the pricing with lowering the advance payment ect.
And another thing i think a lot of cars on the scheme are just there to make up the numbers , what use are small low to the ground salon or sports car , (yes we’d all loved to say i’ll have a sports car please oh and can i have a person there all the time to help me in and out (that’s if i can get in or out) and mobility know that too
i kind of went of on a rant sorry about that
