Eligibility. Do you qualify for a car using the Motability scheme?
If you’re receiving either of the following benefits, you could qualify for a car under the Motability scheme:
Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance (HRMC-DLA)
War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement (WPMS)
Even if you can’t drive yourself, you could still get a car on the Motability scheme, by nominating a family member, guardian or your carer as your driver.
You should have received an Award Notice with details of your allowance from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP). If they haven’t sent you one, or if you’ve mislaid it, simply contact the DWP on 0845 7123 456.
Remember, if you’re thinking about selecting Contract Hire, you must have at least 12 months of your award remaining.
With Hire Purchase, it’s normally expected that you’ll be receiving the allowance for the full length of the agreement.
