Who is eligible for the Motability Car Scheme?

Quite simply, all those who receive the Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance (DLA), or the War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement (WPMS) are eligible.

For those not receiving an allowance

If you (or the person you care for) are affected by a disability but do not qualify for the higher rate DLA or WPMS, the following organisations may be able to assist you:

How the change from DLA to PIP affects eligibility

If you or the person you care for is an existing Motability user, the change from the DLA to the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) may impact on eligibility for the scheme. However, Motability will still lease cars to disabled motorists receiving the enhanced-rate Mobility Component of PIP, as this has the same value as the higher rate DLA Mobility Component.

If you are a current DLA recipient who is awarded the enhanced rate, your Motability eligibility will be unaffected as you move from DLA to PIP. If you receive the new Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP) allowance, you may also be eligible to benefit from the Motability Scheme.
