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
'BUT YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE BMWS OFF THE LIST'
'IT'S AN INDEPENDENT CHARITY'
'WE PAY FOR IT OURSELVES (IGNORE ALL THE TAX EXEMPTIONS'
'IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY REALLY COMPLICATED'
The HOURS of wasted discussion. Turns out you can just get rid of them all. With immediate effect.

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:

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.
