Just chucking this thought out there It has been said ‘ (Motorbility will begin engaging with customers about the proposed changes in spring 2026. Proposed changes to the leasing package will undergo disability impact assessment by the Motability Foundation, which oversees the Scheme, before any changes are approved, announced and implemented. As the Scheme evolves and we fully understand the impacts changes may have on disabled people, the Foundation will also need to consider how its grant programmes best support those most in need) I do wonder and it is simply a wonder Are they thinking of only allowing grants for WAV vehicles? Its something to consider imo Whatever the outcome We can imo rest assured it will result in even further reductions of present services
I believe that all changes to the Scheme must be signed off by the Foundation who are supposed to look at them from a customer’s perspective. So cuts to the offering that contradicts the purpose of the Scheme will be denied.
Just where the power lies is yet to be seen, I’d guess that the balance between terms offered and cost to access the Scheme will be where the decision will be toughest. I’ve no doubt that Operations will frame the cuts as essential to balance out the tax increases and keep the affordability in a time where everyone’s costs will continue to escalate.
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.
