Agree, we have a car for our son and take him too and from college every day racking up 300+ miles a week. We are very strict about the use being for him and we have another car for all our other jobs. However, I do travel home without him in the car and may deviate by one mile to pick up some shopping. This isn’t an abuse as far as I can see but maybe some will disagree. It is a shame , much like the abuses of the Blue Badge scheme that some will take the micky and tarnish genuine recipients of help. Skoda Enyaq
I can’t see anyone complaining about a deviation to pick up some shopping. It’s the parents who use the car multiple times a day and the child for whom the car was provided uses it occasionally at weekends and through school holidays.
@kdwolf, the problem isn’t so much just using it for work but when that work really raises questions about how they qualified for PIP in the first place. I’ve seen a Berlingo acquired through the scheme with a lawn mower, strimmer and other gardening equipment while knowing the driver claims PIP as he claims he can’t walk more than a couple of steps. Clearly one of those who would/should be caught and removed from the Scheme (and has been reported by several people).
