And you can claim you have anxiety in order to get a brand new Audi. So it’s a government scheme which buys people cars.

It’s not independent, because it derives all of its income from the government and uses it to buy people brand new top of the range cars.

You're gonna have to cite sources on that one, but I would sincerely doubt that £77 a week will allow you to lease an Audi.

Also the pip claimant has to be probed by a panel every three years to keep getting the benefit, unlike say a state pension (but I paid for that I mean possibly you did, its still a non means tested benefit, unlike PIP)

Not the OP but they have since been removed as they were luxury cars, but yes £77 a week did use to cover it. Here is the source directly from Audi:

		Luxury meaning about a £33k car, which on lease is about £80 a month more expensive https://www.gateway2lease.com/cars/audi/a3-saloon/22564/tfsi... (motobility is £308 a month) so its not like its a luxury car, its a new car. Personally I'm more pissed off about pensioners on final salary still getting state pension, even though they don't need it. Thats far more fucking expensive and doesn't serve a purpose, well apart from buying votes. means test that shit, right now.

		Yes and to get a 'luxury car' aka small Audi, BMW or Mercedes someone had to put down a deposit of £3,000 of their own money
