@joe You did what you did in good faith, and you have nothing to be sorry for. Do not take the discussion to heart, or think you did something wrong. You certainly did not. If you post something and it generates a lot of replies, good or bad, its because we are all different, nothing more, nothing less. But withdrawing from social media is a good thing. I pulled back from that nonsense years ago and do not regret it. This forum is fine in that there is a lot of good info, and discussions, and again we are all different. Keep your head up, but. Check in niw and again for the useful stuff.
Thanks for your kind words. It just feels disheartening when some people try to actually take action and do something about what is an injustive, in my opinion, and all they receive is a load of negativity. Maybe the case that company is taking on is a lost cause, but at least they are trying something. As far as the policies, personally I can live with them as I tend to do less than 10k per year anyway and I could live with a used car as I did before I was with Motabillity. But to me, it isn’t just about me, I went to a school for children with disabilities when I was a child and I saw the struggles they go through and how they are humans just as much as anyone else. But all this writing letters and enguaging is taking its toll on me both physically and mentally as focusing for periods of time is one of the things that can adversly affect the physical condition I experience and stress can lead to severe deteriations in my health. I’m not looking for sympathy or pity as we all have our conditions and struggles and I have learned to accept that I experience what I experience and need to get on with it. On the other hand I also need to look after my own physical and mental health, despite wanting to help, as causing myself a massive relapse doesn’t help anyone. This isn’t a dig at this forum in particular, just what I am observing in the disabled community and general society. I read people say they will just leave the scheme then. I feel pleased for them, but what about the people who have no other choice? And maybe the links I shared are a con, but I haven’t seen any alternatives or possiblities being offered. But again this isn’t a specific dig at the disabled community or this forum in general, it seems to be the overall consensus in this country now where people sit there behind their keyboards and moan and critise and attack each other, yet few actually offer any solutions or put their heads together and see if there is something that can be done. And I don’t see much coming from the disabled charities. Why aren’t they doing more to fight this? Or are they more concerned about losing their funding? I would try asking them but I assume all I would receive is more cut and paste patronising replies. What happened to the British spirit of coming together to stand up to injustices? To me, this has become no more than a government platitude used to justify yet another measure that punishes the less fortunate for the mistakes of those at the top of society and allows those at the top to continue living the decedent lifestyle, and people just roll over and let it happen and those who offer possible solutions just get shot down. Again this isn’t a dig at this forum, just what I seem to be obeserving in this country in general.
You are giving us valuable information and what some say on here are wrong as I won against Motability under reasonable adjustment in having order my car from home and having it delivered they are also breaching equality act in this black box as it now comes to pass you are not able to drive more than an hour at a time which If you have an ev that’s fine as you need to charge there is a breach of EQ with the black box if you have done nothing wrong to warrant it being fitted and it is all about choice disabled are allowed choice it is only helpful it if you can get together and get legal case to take them on.
