Motability

Motability is a British charity  founded in 1977.  It runs the Motability Scheme for disabled people, their families and their carers to get a new car, scooter or powered wheelchair. The disability benefit is paid to Motobility.  

A person must have at least twelve months to run on one of:

* Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance, 

* Enhanced Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment,

*Scottish Higher rate mobility component of Child or Adult Disability Payment,

*Armed Forces Independence Payment 

*War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement.  

They can choose a new car every three years or a wheelchair-accessible vehicle every five years. There are grants for adapting vehicles. They can get a more expensive one by paying extra.
