Just shows that when the right wing bay for blood they get what they want.

Why not being back reliant robins. Or make benefit claimants wear a bell round their necks

Its no different that a company car – pick one of 3 or 4 car chosen by employer. Keeps it simple.
I have no issue with people on mobility chosing whatever car they want, but its an easy target for people who want to attack the Welfare system.
It used to be people on benefits v’s widescreen TVs back in the early 2000’s.

The scheme is to get people a car, not help them buy a nicer car than they can afford. Considering how benefits around children are means tested it’s a bit wild that you can buy a luxury car you can’t afford because of government help
They’re also working with manufacturers in Britain to support British built cars now. If my taxes are buying cars they can at least be locally made

How about only British made cars as well.
Why are we pouring British tax money into other countries?
Edit: evidently by the replies, no one here understands supply and demand.

What’s wrong with people being able to pay more to upgrade their car through the mobility scheme?

PIP should be means tested. If you’re earning a comfortable living there’s no reason you should get free money just because you have a disability.

Terrible idea because the Nissan Juke is one of the few British built cars out there at the moment. I don’t want to see _more_ Jukes on the road thank you very much

I think it’s a positive step, tax payers shouldn’t be contributing to ‘luxury’ cars for this scheme, just functional cars. Give them Vauxhalls or similar brand of more budget vehicle. I have heard there is quite a lot of abuse of the system, although think it’s a good thing for those who genuinely need something to get around and can’t afford.

They need to reign in who is eligible too. My auntie had polio as a kid which gave her a very slight limp but she qualified.
They bought a land Rover discovery with it so they could tow their mahoosive caravan to their caravan club swingers events.
