Methinks the lazy sponging welfare scroungers will not be happy.

I hope they Take the Motability cars off the Scammers....these cars are meant for those supposedly on the top level of Disability allowance and who meet the following criteria:
"To get the mobility component of Disability Living Allowance, your disability must be severe enough for you to have any of the following walking difficulties, even when wearing or using an aid or equipment you normally use:
* because of a physical disability, you are unable or virtually unable to walk without severe discomfort, or at risk of endangering your life or causing deterioration in your health by making the effort to walk
* you have no feet or legs
* you are assessed to be both 100 per cent disabled because of loss of eyesight and not less than 80 per cent disabled because of deafness and you need someone with you when you are out of doors
* you are severely mentally impaired with severe behavioural problems and qualify for the highest rate of care component
* you need guidance or supervision most of the time from another person when walking out of doors in unfamiliar places"
That would reduce the Numbers that is abusing this easily abused by around 75%...Most of the ones I know that get this Privelage are perfectly fit or at best some long way short of the goverments criteria.
I live in a small town and although not a doctor I recognise that a lot of theses beggars are simply swinging the lead...
