I feel the 400% rise in the excess to 25p a mile is basically discouraging any high mileage users from the scheme. There is no real justification for such a huge rise from the current 5p. Luckily, I don’t do the mileage I once did, and it doesn’t really affect me. Still, though the 50% reduction in mileage, coupled with the 25p or, for those who are VAT registered, 21p, is so bad. The CEO, it seems, doesn’t care about disabled people and living their lives. Why would he when he’s on 924k a year, as he got a 300k bonus and receives a 21k car allowance per year and other perks. He could have put up some resistance to the government changes, but just rolled over. Where will those affected find another £7.5k for 30k miles, they’ve lost? They won’t, they’ll have to leave the scheme.
