@kezo Just read it and responded. I didn’t see it, as it’s over in ‘Off Topic’ which I hardly ever visit. It’s very much ‘on topic’ isn’t it? I thought that ‘off topic’ was for general chats and things unconnected with Motability?
What annoys me most is Motability are cutting costs but every time we get a pip increase Motability gets more money. I think the next pip increase in 2026 is £2.95 per person per week times that by Motability customers, which I believe is 860,000. I’ll let you do the math.

I’ve just done the maths (I’ve added an ‘s’ as we aren’t American 😉) and that small increase benefits Motability Operations to the tune of £132m in one year alone. Makes you think doesn’t it? 🤔

I never know where to put stuff half the time on tend to keep on topic about scheme cars?
I’ve had a quick glance at your reply, but will look more in depth later, as not feeling well to concentrate.
However, this say alot:

Too many zero’s for me!

Extra. It’s not extra – the increases would be factored in to the cost over three years.
Motabiity know how much inflation will rise over a 3 year lease? A bit like a crystal ball I would say, especially with her from accounts in charge😂

It’s an assumption the guys with spreadsheets could get pretty close to. If you’ve half a sense of economics, you’ll be able to put realistic numbers in. Remember, it’s not about accurately predicting the future but putting a REASONABLE allowance for uplifts. It’s the same as future values and insurance expenses over the next 3-5 years, it’s very difficult to get exact but given a margin of error predictions become reliable estimates.
Even within government budgets, there’s estimates for inflation, future pay rises and all potential future changes. I know I was expected to be able to uplift current expenditure to a budget based on future activity and pricing for both short (1-2 years) and medium term (5-15 years) expectations. That’s working on a decade’s worth of inflation and market conditions, although we generally took an annual report from economists in a central department.

Yes, but with her from accounts?
🤣😂🤣 that’s the joys of estimates, you can always allow for errors due to exceptional circumstances. However, past experience would suggest inflation slightly higher under Labour. If I was predicting for the next decade, I’d assume a fall in inflation under a right leaning government and an increase if you move further left.
If you’re good at your job, and Motability pay well, you should be able to make reasonable predictions although a wildcard like Theresa May or her from accounts could make times a little more interesting.
