a car from DWP

jacklink

how much would you get towards a car ?

just asked DWP how much i would get in help in purchasing a car in relation to a job.

i have a car, its droping to bits, will not get through next MOT.

my proposed job is a mobile carer, i queryed this, they will give me an allowance toward a car but will not specify,

does anyone no how much it will be

my hubbys sister works for DWP and apparantly there are a certain group getting this all the time

thanks

Highly unlikely, other people have said they are turned down for driving lessons let alone a car.

Why not ask husband's sister?

dont speak to husband's sister, but she works in the midlands where apparantly there are a lot of peole get cars or money for cars in that area, dont know if its work related but sister working at DWP confirmed that there are a minority who get a cashe cheque for such purposes.

Well why not ring up and ask them if you can have a car?

The Midlands covers a large area, but I can confirm that for my part of the Midlands that is utter tosh.

I have no idea why you have mentioned that you are 'white born England'.

It sounds like you're talking about people claiming DLA mobility allowance, they can either have a weekly benefit payment or a mobility car which is paid for instead of benefits, the DWP won't help you with a car.

I've heard off a car dealer friend that he has eastern europeans and others coming to him to buy a car with a cheque from the dwp !!!!!! is that all about

tink_the_stink

what utter rubbish is put on this site......DWP will not pay for a car for some one to start a job....I work as Lone Parent adviser & we have a very budget to help people into work but this is one thing we would never consider!

As for the car dealer friend thing he's got his wires crossed or david69 is just trying to stir it up!
