I am happy with the scheme. I am unhappy with the injustice of taxpayer-provided funds intended to benefit people qualifying for PIP being misspent by the charity set up to help disabled people, without them being held accountable.
absolutely and they should and have some competion.
How does competition help?
Currently one company negotiates with each manufacturer. That company then provides what cars it can at the price it negotiates. If there’s two, do they then negotiate exclusive deals with each manufacturer? So Nissan is Motability and KIA with MobilityUK (for example) Stellantis with Motability, Hyundai MobilityUK, MG, Motability, etc. Does that mean that you need acceptance from both before hunting out your car? What if you get accepted from one but not the other just to find the most suitable car you can’t get because it’s the wrong company? What about those disabled people who struggle to get paperwork completed because they have mental capacity difficulties? They’d have to do everything twice? What about dealerships who have multiple brands, would they have different people helping each? Would they support the extra paperwork?
Motability need to be accountable, agree 100%. Motability need to be kept on their toes, again agree 100%. I’m just not convinced that putting other players in the space will make our lives better but I’m more than happy to be proved wrong.
