Motability has already used term like “it’s original core values” and “refocus on our main objectives”. That should give some indication as to where they’re thinking of going.
There’s also been mention by Motability of “Cost saving measures” including setting our lease to be more aligned to commercial leases – which reads as the 20,000 mile annual allowance will drop significantly although there’s no indication of to what. There has also been mention of abolishing support in Europe, which means the insurance and recovery covers we have will be UK only.
I’ve gone down the rant on “Policy of Envy” many times, several on here but that’s what we’re being battered with, the Daily Mail readers being unable to afford what is given to us is clearly entirely unfair and utterly wrong. Mostly because, unlike Motability, those working and earning above the 40% tax threshold will be able to lease a car with all the benefits we are given but with a government assistance package of 40%, yep a person earning £70,000 a year could lease any car in the country and have the government pay 40% in the form of tax not paid on the lease payment. Salary Sacrifice is costing this country millions each and every month but they’re focused on the disabled community getting “Free” cars whilst scamming the system. Apparently we’re also all work shy lazy buggers who have no interest in working. Oh, and before you think that voting this lot out would make things better, Reform and the Conservative party have both said they’d be targeting the massive welfare bill, with a view on those earning significant lifestyles by claiming all sorts of benefits as apparently there’s people earning the equivalent of £50,000 a year whilst doing nothing.
Sorry, back to topic, The future of the scheme is unknown currently but will be a more expensive offer for less of a service. Effectively, we’ll be temporarily punished until the Timms review at which point we’ll more likely than not be battered again.
