To be entirely fair here, that’s misleading. We’re talking the mobility part of PIP here, the part of PIP that’s specifically designed to be spent on transportation. If you can’t afford to spend it because you need the money to pay the bills, then that’s a problem with PIP itself. That part of the benefit is supposed to be spent on a car (or alternatives).
Not misleading at all. There is no legal requirement, or proof required, as to what you use the mobility component for. Many will doubtless use it partly to get around and the major part for other bills. That’s my point. There is no compulsion to have a car or to use Motability.
