Re: Torys to cut housing benefit of young
Then again, not ALL disabled are being denied motability cars.
Are all the changes made to buses and taxis not required?
Even with a car, people would have to move around quite a bit outside of it. Eg Try getting around pedestrianised areas in Towns/Cities. If somebody is able to get around a college, then they can manage buses.
Many Remploy places were closed under Labour and are done so on the suggestion of Disabled organisations. Why should somebody be given extra money simply because there is a Remploy company near them and that they can get into?
BTW I have disabilities which mean that I get higher rate mobility DLA, but I can't drive. In periods where I am totally or very(only get out once a week) housebound, even a car wouldn't be much use. Those periods are usually just a few days but can last a week, but the most recent one lasted more than 2 months. The adjustments made such as wheelchair ramps and tactile paving for blind people are a nightmare for me and probably lots of other people.
Only 3 people who use a wheelchair have had their car removed.
