Add on return journey and you have just under 19 miles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If the carer is claiming 19 miles per visit, they would be near enough OK. Do they claim travel to/from their home or wherever they work out of as well? Otherwise its 7 miles as per Mr Blokes googling Edited May 13, 2022 by Bargepole23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Like bargepole says, Google maps says 7 miles plus, rtn, add on stop start, etc, surely no more than ten miles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I had misread and now fully understand that it was, indeed, a round-trip that was being claimed for. Best wishes for sorting it out. 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
gamezone07 23 #11 Posted May 16, 2022 well, i do wonder if it is her car, we went to Wheata dental clinic, Wordsworth Ave, Parson Cross, from sharrow lane, last friday, lots of 4x4 traffic/school run, etc, and were stuck in traffic going, had to go though greystones etc, come out crosspool, etc, coming back quite smooth, penistone rd, came to 20 miles, she showed me petrol gauge and it had used 20 miles, really got to sort this, times are tough.
