OK

Paralympians heading to Rio next week have lost their Motability vehicles after being reassessed as part of the government’s programme of benefit cuts and reforms, a member of the ParalympicsGB team has revealed.

So this guy has revealed this scandal, he must have some juicy evidence and detail to break such a story as must the journalist to write about it.

Some Paralympians have spoken previously of the importance of the support they receive from the benefits system, particularly through disability living allowance (DLA), but this is the first confirmation that any of them have lost that support as a result of the government’s austerity programme.

Confirmation from whom, I can't see any confirmation

The 20-year-old said he knew of fellow Paralympians who have already lost their Motability cars after being reassessed for PIP

He said: “There have been Paralympians who have been told that they are too able to claim Motability and they have had to fight to get the cars back because they have been taken off them..

OK so he does know, no doubt he'll tell us who, how many, how big is this issue

“I don’t know too much about it

Hold on, this whole story is based on your knowledge

I haven’t spoken to them about it because that’s a personal matter for them, but it’s something I’m a little bit concerned about.”

So you don't know, you may have heard something maybe.

Good fact finding bit of journalism there.

He said he was not comfortable providing further details about colleagues, and could not say how many fellow team-members had lost their Motability vehicles, but added: “All I know is anyone with disabilities is getting assessed at the moment, so it’s a possibility for any of us.”

Pah!
