The point isn’t to make a profit tho. Also making the excess mileage 500% higher is inexcusable too.
The point isn’t just these changes the point is they are demanding “we” all feel the pain yet there’s ZERO evidence of wage constraints at MB. Andrew Miller is on £924,000 plus bonuses that’s not far off 9 times the Prime Minister’s salary FFS. Add on the rest of the board then some of the other wages are well above average too. We have to tighten our belts, they should lead by example, no?
As I said before setting that mileage at 25p is not a cost that’s deliberately punitive.
Also this new mileage business under extremely limited situations. Do that means having to go to them explaining every last trip why it was necessary all to an unqualified phone person and I’m bloody fed up with it. I just had to do an 12 page form plus a 4 page application plus all my medical records to the council for a blue badge (no it can’t be passported via pip long story) same to the DWP usually followed by dealing with a physiotherapist doing an assessment, as well as being told I’m not disabled enough by Nimbus despite everything so have to argue with them despite having 3 previous renewals.
I’m sick to death of these places demanding every last piece of personal information I’d like some privacy and dignity and not have to go crawling off like some kind of old ugly disabled Oliver Twist “Please sir can I have some more miles”
Let’s not forget pip also went up by a healthy amount this month multiply that by 838,000 it’s a fair increase.
