Free cars? That's news to me.

Motability recipients receive assistance "purchasing" the appropriate vehicle to meet their needs. The benefit pays for the modification. Some vehicles are modified for the disabled driver, some are modified for the disabled passenger. But the cars are not free. They are available through lease purchase with some financial assistance.

I have friends in some of the disability networks who fully support the PIP assessments to be carried out by ATOS. They believe the truly disabled will be more protected by the new system. Others are not so convinced. Upon reading how the terminally ill and severely disabled fail the PIP, and that ATOS representatives treat all as though they are cheats, I too have my reservations.   

I echo CS' comment about the unwashed and ill-mannered. Judge not, etc.

My recent visit to the Job Centre to have documents verified I saw people from all walks. But none of them "sloped." They were all engaged in either quiet searching, discussions with staff, or queuing.
