If you get the enhanced rate of the mobility component, you can swap part of your PIP for a car, scooter, or wheelchair.
It’s called the Motability Scheme. You lease a brand-new vehicle, and they cover insurance, tax, and servicing.
Yes, you read that right. A whole car that you just use without worrying about breakdowns. I mean, you still have to buy petrol, but come on—that’s a win.
“But I don’t drive!”
No problemo. You can use the scheme to get a wheelchair-accessible vehicle or even apply for the PIP grant towards a powered wheelchair.
Motability also does a little car-adaptation fairy magic. They’ll add hand controls, swivel seats, or whatever you need—free of charge. It’s like ordering a custom pizza, but for mobility.
