ANGELFIRE1 10 #1 Posted February 11, 2018 Can this be right. Disabled are been thrown off this scheme while this happens. "THREE probes for disability cars scheme after Mail exposes £2.4billion cash pile Ministers acted after the Mail revealed Motability scheme was hoarding surplus. Esther McVey, the Work and Pensions Secretary, said Motability have lost its way. MPs condemned the £1.7million salary paid to the non-profit firm’s boss, Mike Betts" This guy is earning 10 times what the PM earns, is the system broken. Angel1.

If it was a profit making company, that would just be profits and dividends. Why dont the Government just give them less money. Its just another Government ****-up, but they will blame someone else.

I personally know of 3 people who have lost their mobility payment even though they've had it in the past and their condition has deteriorated. They have been to assessments and it's clearly self evident they need it, but their verbal responses have been twisted or ignored. There's a serious need to have these assessments recorded, but they are prevented from doing so. Once again it's something to do with a peculiar questions on the form and the way they are 'marked.' (point system) It seems it's not just about being able to walk or not. Edited February 11, 2018 by Anna B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

While some disabled folk are losing their only mode of transport (to save the government money) because they answer questions "wrongly", the top bloke and the second in command receive £1.7 million and £1.1 million respectively. Not only that, there is £2.4 BILLION in the bank. So yes it is most certainly relevent. Just to add, I understand nearly 70% of those who lose their benefit get it reinstated on appeal. So the boss and his understudy are hardly stellar performers are they. Angel1. Edited February 12, 2018 by ANGELFIRE1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
