Exchange your mobility allowance for a leased car, Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle, scooter or powered wheelchair

Cost: Your mobility allowance is paid across to Motability; many cars need no extra Advance Payment, some need one on top

What you get

A new car, Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle, scooter or powered wheelchair on a lease that bundles insurance, servicing, tyres, breakdown cover and (for cars) an annual mileage allowance, paid for by signing over your mobility allowance for the lease term.

Who qualifies

Enhanced-rate mobility component of PIP, higher-rate mobility component of DLA, enhanced-rate mobility component of Adult Disability Payment (Scotland), higher-rate mobility component of Child Disability Payment (Scotland), War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement, or Armed Forces Independence Payment, with at least 12 months left on the award when you apply.

Evidence accepted

  • PIP/DLA/ADP award letter showing enhanced or higher mobility rate and remaining award length
IMPORTANT TO NOTE Only relevant to the minority of people with IBD whose functional impact (e.g. severe fatigue, joint disease, or a stoma with mobility complications) is enough to secure an enhanced/higher-rate mobility award; standard-rate PIP mobility does not qualify.
