Ah ok Guys I get it, thanks – I can see why in Scotland they did that – I mean, I think I’d be gutted personally if I’d taken a car at the full allowance and not been able to get that 16.8% because that has quite literally gone straight to put my monthly gas & elec up to £150 a month.
i simply couldn’t have done it without the 16.8% as I put the direct debit up to £120 as soon as I got the 2023 increase (not till effing June and don’t get me started on that CON again) and I’ve promised Octopus I’ll up it to £150 this June…. That’s without using the gas ffs ??♂️
The difference perhaps is I’m single adult with rent way above the £350 a month housing element of my universal credit – as most people my age are stuck with that are new to this disability life gods dealt me last year, so the buck stops with me I won’t be buying a house now that’s a solid nope.
But obviously this is all helping me understand and it’d only be good for me on a £56 per week Kia if it runs on fresh air ?
hence my questions around lower prices vs inflation. I still think it kinda sucks for you guys that took it out pre April 2023 that are single people
