We'll get back to you as swiftly as possible.
The Conservatives say their plan for more VAT on Scheme leases would raise £1 billion.
Our analysis shows the figures don't add up. The proposals would make the Scheme unaffordable for disabled people, while raising far less, if anything. As reported by @johnpringdns ⬇️
There's a bigger picture too.
For many disabled people, getting a car isn't as simple as going elsewhere.
Around 60% of Scheme customers would struggle to access finance, and around 30% would struggle to get insurance outside the Scheme.
The Scheme helps disabled people get to work and education, attend appointments, see family and live independently.
Changes that make the Scheme unaffordable would have real consequences for the disabled people who rely on it. Read more: news.mo.co.uk/news/media-fac…
An important conversation to be part of at #Lab26 about breaking down the barriers disabled people face accessing work, education and training. Great to bring together @MarieTidball, @LilianGreenwood, @Motability and others to discuss how together we can make a difference.
Great to join @marietidball, colleagues, campaigners and Motability at a roundtable #Lab26 to discuss the barriers disabled people still face accessing work, education and training and how we can work together to break them down. 🌹

Independence looks different for every customer.
For John, it means taking his dog to the park, spending time at his bowls club and staying connected to the people around him.
The Motability Scheme helps disabled people stay mobile and part of everyday life. Watch John’s story.
For Ronnie, the Motability Scheme helps him stay connected and get to the places that matter most.
“I use my car mainly to get about and do the things I want to do.”
That includes his local @UKMensSheds where he has found friendship, support and a boost to his wellbeing.
We know from our customers that mobility is about more than getting from A to B.

The Motability Scheme helps make that possible, supporting independence and keeping people connected to everyday life.
The right vehicle can open up everyday life.
For Jonno and Shauna, a WAV through the Motability Scheme means work, school runs and family life.

By enabling disabled people to travel independently, the Motability Scheme unlocks access to the essential elements of life: education, employment, healthcare, community and connection.
"It's kind of just giving me that independence that I thought I'd lost when I had my accident."
For our customers, the Motability Scheme is about the freedom to work, learn, care for family, attend medical appointments and stay connected to their communities.
“If I didn’t have a vehicle from Motability, I wouldn’t be able to get out and see anybody.”
Our customers find the Scheme has a positive impact, with 75% saying it is significant, helping to reduce isolation and giving them the confidence and autonomy to leave their homes.
For many Motability Scheme customers, a power cut isn’t just inconvenient, it interrupts essential care and independence. With @ofgem, we’re exploring how EVs could provide temporary backup power for households, keeping essential equipment running during power cuts.
These learnings will also help inform how similar approaches could be developed safely across the UK. You can find out more here: news.mo.co.uk/news/new-proje…
