Social Security Advisory Committee consults on whether Motability scheme is best way to support mobility needs of disabled people

As per the News article at https://www.rightsnet.org.uk/welfare-rights/news/item/social-security-advisory-committee-consults-on-whether-motability-scheme-is-best-way-to-support-mobility-needs-of-disabled-people.

It strikes me that this is a largely misguided piece of work albeit that it may reveal some key points:

- that the tendency of PIP to make shorter awards inhibits confidence in accessing the Motability scheme even when eligible to do so.

- that the interaction between PIP and Motability is not frictionless and the repeated and often incorrect removal of PIP and how that impacts Motability is a key factor.

- that Motability is once again being targeted on the basis of some fallacious ideas.

I had another thought on this but it’s already been a long week and it evades me for now.

Thoughts?
