What is Eligibility?
Eligibility for the Motability Scheme is based on the mobility allowance you receive. If you have at least 12 months’ award length remaining on any of the below allowances, you are likely to qualify for a brand-new car of your choice and the comprehensive package of benefits that accompanies it. You can check your award length on your allowance award letter.
● Enhanced rate mobility part of Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
● Higher rate mobility part of Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
● War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement (WPMS)
● Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)
Unfortunately, those receiving the lower rate or component of mobility allowance, the Attendance Allowance, the Carer’s Allowance or the Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) cannot apply for the Scheme.
