The Motability Scheme currently provides over 630,000 disabled people and their families with affordable, convenient, worry-free motoring, enabling them to exchange their mobility allowance to lease a new car, powered wheelchair or scooter.

Who can apply?

The Motability Scheme is available to anyone who receives one of the following allowances, and has at least 12 months’ award length remaining when they apply:

• Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance
• Enhanced Rate Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment
• War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement
• Armed Forces Independence Payment

A parent or carer can apply on behalf of a child aged three or older and non-drivers can still apply, nominating up to three people to drive for them.
