    Thanks @kezo but I fear this isn’t about financial gain but the court of public opinion.

    If I was in there position with their spineless leadership, here’s how is prevent cars from going to mental health disabilities.

    1 redesign the PIP descriptors so that the only descriptor for the mobility element would be moving around.  The whole Activity 11 would mysteriously vanish.  There could be a compensation of including mental capacity in each of those activities, resulting in those people could qualify for enhanced daily living award.

    2 maintain Motability’s ability to provide cars for those eligible for the enhanced rate of the mobility element.

    Job done, mental health minimised without reversing the Conservative lead Act equalling mental and physical disabilities and all the consequences they didn’t see coming.

     

    Again, if either Motability or the current Labour leadership had a spine, pointing out all these ‘cars for ADHD’ cases were instigated by this Conservative move to equalise mental & physical health.  However, I’ve only heard a few older Conservatives who were senior at the time confessing that they didn’t see this as a long term consequence.

    I'm Autistic, if I say something you find offensive, please let me know, I can guarantee it was unintentional.
    I'll try to give my honest opinion but am always open to learning.
