Car Insurance - what a joke...!

A friend was getting some ins quotes for their upcomming renewal. They are unemplyed and claim Carers Allowance as they look after their OH, who doesnt work due to illness/disability. The OH claimes disability benefits. The insurance renewal quote was £1500. Yet when they said they worked in an office as "Admin Assistant"…

No. They are claiming DLA and InCap.

Then I'm surprised they don't qualify for motability. If the OH really needs 24 hour care then they should.

If not, perhaps look at going back to work? It might be able to arrange home help through the council for a few hours a week.

5t.

What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?
