Didn’t I read last year or the year before that the DWP we’re sending out info about the scheme to all higher rate PIP persons.
The DWP know all the folk who are entitled but don’t subscribe so if that hasn’t worked I’m not sure spending our money on advertising that only benefiting the TV companies.
That wouldn’t be so bad if the TV companies gave us something in return but as freeview / freesat go, their programming for we old folk leaves a lot to be desired so I for one are more likely be watching Prime or Netflix advert free.
The way to encourage new customers IMO is to make the system of dealerships front end contact better. Although I’ve never had really really bad service from dealers I have often had the lack of interest from dealers as soon as I mention Motability so can you imagine a new costumer getting the cold shoulder five minutes after visiting a showroom and what they’ed think. I’m sure there’s loads of possible Motability customers read the threads on this site everyday and are put off by some of our experiences written here with regards to dealerships.
Just about to post then another thought came to mind, It doesn’t help if your an unfortunate customer who invest in a Motability car while having the threat of a letter through the door for a review of your award. If I knew what I was going to be put through when some posh boys decide to change DLA to PIP then move the goalpost to save money I would have never joined Motability and would have bought my own car as I did for 37 years before becoming disabled.
That threat of being an easy target for saving money still hangs over all of us with HR PIP and another goalpost attack could come out of the woodwork at anytime in future so my advise now would be get a car privately and use your award to pay for it then at least if anything does change in future you’ve still got a car.
