AIBU to feel horrified at the number of Motability vehicles being provided?

What do you define as rubbish?

They are most certainly not fiction if it helps people il go report. Nothing seems to come of it though! I reported a relative of my exs who slagged me off to a close friend not realising the link called me all sorts of awful things and said i was main factor for her mental health! if anything i’d always tried to be kind to her. She has told me she claims PIP for anxiety and depression and that she can’t leave the house, can’t wash herself. She’s lying she goes out shopping, would try come visit me even when told her could not have her round as was working from home and she has multiple holidays. I reached my limit and reported and nothing seems to have came from it. Absaloute joke!! Meanwhile there working people struggling to pay for basic living and hanging on by a thread trying to juggle home life and work balance. Workers only get £12500 tax free but someone on benefits can get £3000 a month tax free by time receive all benefits and it’s simply unfair

If your child’s money is being spent on care or things that have a direct improvement on their health and daily needs/education there’s no issue. It’s the huge amount of benefits being paid out for and a lot of it being spent on rubbish that’s the issue.

PIP isn’t just for funding care. In fact, lots will receive care via social care or the ICB on top of PIP.

My DSs’ benefits aren’t spent on care fees but their benefits are spent on other disability related expenses. We spend far more on disability related costs that aren’t care than they receive in benefits. They receive funding for care on top, which costs far more than PIP.

Those with genuine need deserve good quality care so we need to pay for it if they can’t afford it themselves. We need to cut back the amount spent on PIP that’s not being spent on actual care needs.

I read an article which showed 60% of UC claimants have deductions taken from their payment. Many of those are for debt. Definitely money management skills are needed to be taught and yes i would consider a move towards supermarket vouchers or direct payments towards gas/electricity/water they have to be paid for anyway and i’d be happy if someone was paying my gas/electricity/water etc

Some people don’t like to hear it but we have an issue with people not taking any personal responsibility towards themselves they just expect someone else to pay for them and that kind set needs to change as we can’t continue at this rate

I highly doubt that would actually save money. Good quality care packages are expensive.

Not to mention how much it would cost to implement and that it would also be argued that UC, child benefit etc shouldn't be cash either unless we believe that only disabled people can't be trusted with cash benefits.

Why have you not reported them then?

There are many genuine disabled people who will be struggling even on enhanced PIP due to the cost of care. BUT we do need to face the fact that the benefit bill is huge and constantly increasing. I know someone who barely worked a day in her life and lives alone in a 3 bed council house all rent covered and only has to pay £10 a month council tax and gets enhanced PIP as she says she can barely walk and feels suicidal because of it. She spends her days in the gym, drinking and takes drugs at raves! I’ve been on nights out and witnessed her getting up dancing on tables and saying please no one film me il have the DWP on my back!

Another woman claims she can’t wash herself and needs her niece to stay overnight but it’s all lies and she is up and about on school runs with her grandchildren and has an on the side business regularly doing church fairs etc She’s forever booking holidays abroad! Got a housing association property with spare bedroom “for a carer to stay”

Another woman barely worked a day in her life says her daughter has ADHD perhaps she does but lets her have ridiculous amount of screen time and constant sweets and coke. Really don’t think that’s helping her child! They have all rent paid and go on expensive outings she says that’s what child DLA is for!

There are many working families who don’t qualify for social housing and stuck paying high rents and have no spare money for holidays/days out. Paying huge amounts of council tax and struggling to help their child get through university. Many working mothers exhausted from raising children whilst working full time. Hardly fair!

I don’t think many people want to have a disability or child with disability so maybe time to consider move to care packages of good quality care make sure if you need help showering someone comes in and does a good service etc if you struggling to prepare meals you get provided with good quality meal. Supermarket vouchers where you can only redeem using photo ID and proof of NINO unlimited cash is not the answer

Social housing is extremely hard to get, and the days of waiting on a list til you get one are long gone. The allocations policy is based on ‘need’, and that can be subjective. And people who are ‘given’ a house, are getting an affordable lifetime tenancy.

Some people with disabilities are in completely unsuitable and expensive housing because there are few suitable social rented properties, similarly the old and frail. Most private tenants are at a disadvantage. More expensive, no security of tenure. Definitely time for England to withdraw the Right to Buy. Wales and Scotland took action some years ago.

She was 'given a house'? Amazing.

Just to add a mini countryman is the full £80 per week on mobility.
Standard any person contracts are £75 per week and you can buy the car at the end of the lease.

A number of disabled people perhaps choose not to do that as they may have degenerative disease or life limiting conditions. However they are not allowed to buy the car.

DLA and PIP are extremely hard to get. You have to be very disabled. Motobility cars are even harder to get. People use some or all of their dla/pip plus usually a big amount of their own money too on renting a car.

It's not a case of telling your GP your back hurts and you get a car. Although some people seem to think it works like that.
