To me M/B has lost its way, it seems more geared to accumalting money than helping people with specific needs be it mobility wise or financial. It would seem to me reading posts on here that it is becoming harder and harder for those with limited means to afford a vehicle on the scheme or get the help they require while those that are financially better off are the ones that benefit the most.
I wouldn’t argue with that. We’ve been on the scheme 30 years. Mrs Joe needs an automatic estate, there’s nothing that suits her. We are not entitled to a grant due to savings and income. We’re off the scheme when the current lease expires in around 10 months. Going to use the £3k AP we would need to pay for Motability as a deposit on a new or nearly new car and finance over 5 years, or longer. It is a difficult time for Motability, but they could be doing a lot more to help.
