Vi, I don't think they've thought about it. High rate motbiliy allowance is supposed to cover both a car and any scooter or powerwheelchair an individual needs, but if you use the Motability scheme then most vehicles take the full allowance, so effectively you're expected to pay for these things privately. Out of the benefits they're trying to kick us all off I should imagine!Kim, absolutely, they don't have the faintest idea!Casdok, it just becomes more worryingButterfly, anecdotally I've known of at least one disabled woman who's done exactly that, and through her known of many more. Thank you for your lovely comments, I'm enjoying your blog too xMary, I know! And they won't believe you don't get given a car for free as well as motability allowance to put fuel in it and the spare cash buy your wheelchair. The general public in fairness are taught about disability through govt campaigns to kick us scroungers off benefit and charitable appeals, who can blame people for being confused! I'm one of those who can walk (a bit, alright a very little bit) but I can't use crutches or a manual wheelchair cos my upper body isn't strong enough and would just dislocate. In fairness generally it's the professionals I come into contact with who are just as lacking in understanding as the public. SOmething major has to change as so many people are living with conditions who simply wouldn't have done previously.
