moooo Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 You get a free car, free parking, free bus travel, meals on wheels, carers to get you up and put you to bed, free car servicing and insurance, crutches, wheelchair, free council tax, rent, someone to walk your dogs, cut your grass, free prescriptions, ra di da di da.... But your neighbours and friends talk about you behind your back but never talk to you any more, you get an occasional brick through the window, scratches on your beautiful new car, then the DWP investigate you and charge you with fraud on a technicality, The Sun and Sheffield Star run articles about you, and you get depressed, suicidal, and lose everything. Sorry but you need to be warned. What free car? Last time I checked this so called "free car" isnt free. It comes out the mobility component of DLA. To which not everyone can afford to have cut to get this so called "free" car you mentioned. In case you are wondering im not in reciept on any benefits. I work full time and pay my taxes. Hoewver my 80 year old dad does get DLA. He did ask me about the mobility scheme. But lost interest when I told him it will cost him in terms of his mobility component and he will have to give to car back at the end of the lease perioid. His exact words was "Its a con, im better of just paying you for the cost to diesel when you take me out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastifflover Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 thank you for your input guys. i were looking more towards the small things such as reduced payment for parking, free travel and such. do you actually get free wheelchairs? how do i go about that? i cant drive so car doesnt appeal anyway.

mike84 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 thank you for your input guys. i were looking more towards the small things such as reduced payment for parking, free travel and such. do you actually get free wheelchairs? how do i go about that? i cant drive so car doesnt appeal anyway. if you dont drive why would reduced parking payment for parking be any good? Any additional things that you are entitled to will depend on which level of DLA you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would help enormously if you could tell us what DLA you are asking about, All the post above may be wrong which part of the Mobility are you on the higher or lower one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
