Our goal is simple: expose abuse of the PIP and Motability Scheme, not to attack it, but to safeguard it.
Motability means independence, dignity, and freedom. ♿🚗
🎅 Merry Christmas everyone! 🎅
...especially Andrew Miller of @MotabilityOps , congratulations on the 24% pay rise!
£748,000 -> £924,000! 💰💰💰
We wanted to raise awareness of the Motability Scheme and, over 100,000 lookups later, that's exactly what we did.
A promise is a promise. Goodbye, for now.
Thanks to all involved, especially @maxtempers for bringing it to everyone's attention.

Result 💪
85% of claimants make additional payments to get better cars - wow
Maybe there's a solution that makes everyone happy?

👀 DID YOU KNOW? Motability isn’t just a charity...
...it’s a car finance scheme run by a private company owned by four banks. It sits on billions from taxpayer-funded disability benefits.
No competition, no transparency and guaranteed government money.
Welfare and happiness on the outside, finance and profits on the inside.
Did you see a BMW i4 Gran Coupe on Motability on the school run today? We did!
This car costs *£20,018* over 3 years - or *69%* of their TOTAL PIP allowance!
Is it right that premium cars are available from a disability benefit meant for "daily living"?

If #Motability is a charity, why are multiple LTD, PLC & IoM companies, FOUR banks and a private insurer involved?
Cosy charity or corporate gravy train?
Nobody knows.
Something very strange going on here:
bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8jr…
That vehicle is a BMW X5...which has *never* been available via the Motability Scheme.
Care to explain @BBCNewsNI ?
*FACT CHECK* - Are Motability vehicles *FREE*?
*No* - users typically pay an up-front fee (c. £500-£8000) to LEASE a vehicle for 3 years. They also forfeit their entire enhanced mobility PIP (£77.05 per week).
Thus, a Motability car costs users ~£12k over 3 years (plus fee).
We are hopeful that this change will help bring to an end to the rampant abuse of the Motability Scheme.
This is a vital scheme to help disabled people live and work with dignity and independence 💪👌

Why does Motability allow PIP recipients to get a 286 bhp BMW i4 on their scheme?
This is a £51,370 performance car in *BASE SPEC*.
Motability was setup to offer disabled people functional cars to give them independence and dignity, NOT high-performance luxury cars.
With this car sucking up an EIGHT GRAND non-refundable deposit and 100% of someone's mobility allowance it's a frankly BIZARRE use of taxes.
