Whenever a politician is described as intelligent I want to cry.These people are politicians - end of story. They have not a clue about the sort of thinking that even the most menial human beings in other walks of life have to do - you know, where what you do WORKS!When the tossers were arguing about the difference betwen failed targets (which the Labour MP thought were worthy achievements) and

I foresee a huge demand for pre-2001 automatic cars. At least second-hand car dealers will be benefitting from the budget. Trust NuLab spivs to look after their own!

I suggest a look at this post for an overview of the benefits systemhttp://benefitscroungingscum.blogspot.com/2008/03/no-special-treatment-practical-response.htmlDizzy's information is quite correct, generally speaking 'only' having one leg amputated doesn't give sufficient need for high rate mobility allowance without which one cannot use the Motability scheme or claim disability exemption on

V, to be eligible for the Motability scheme requires you to be on the higher rate DLA or war pensioner mobility supplement too.

Looking at the motability site, you need to be in receipt of the mobility allowance. An single amputee is not "disabled" enough to qualify. The rules for Motability are exactly the same it looks like as for VED excemption: Higher Rate Mobility Component (HRMC) of the Disability Living Allowance (DLA), or War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement (WPMS). So it looks like he is stuffed

What if your friend was to buy / lease through Motobility?Another option is to buy a Japanese Import - most if not all are Autos and being older than 2001, they are not going to have any serious tax costs like the silly emission or the showroom tax.Where there is a will, there is an unintended consequence!

Where's the hacksaw?Comes to something when you have to eat your own limbs to survive in Browns Britain.This is a typical smoke and mirrors crude tax raising budget. At a time when really we need tax concesions to get us over the recesion this is in itself incredible.One day - one day - the penny will drop and EVERYONE will realise that when labour say one thing they mean or intend the exact

I have just been informed that having just one leg is not considered to be disabled enough. He would have to lose both.

Just because he only has one leg doesn't mean he has to sit on his arse and not work you know anon.

Because that disability exemption is only available to people on disability living allowance or war pensionser mobility supplement as the link says?

How come he isn't claiming the "disability exemption"on his road tax?
