How To Get Motor Car Hand Adaptation Lack Of Use Of Legs Due To Neuropathy?

[bigbas]

Due to neuropathy i will soon be unable to use my feet to drive my car I understand there is help by the government to get my vehicle adapted to hand controls please advise how i go about getting this benefit from the UK government

It forms a part of the personal independence payment https://www.gov.uk/pip/what-youll-get

as woofgang has indicated, you need to apply for PIP (how old are you though?) and if you receive the higher rate for mobility, you will be able to swap it for a motability car. If you are over the PIP age, or need it sooner, you will need to pay for adaptions yourself - go to a garage that does motability vehicles (most of them do) and start your enquiry there

To add further you may need to be re-assesed if your disability is is changing. To get support you would need to be in receipt of the ehanced rate of the mobility component of the PIP payment.
The higher rate of the mobility component of Disabled Living Allowance .. DLA
Or in receipt of War Pensioners Mobility Supplement..
WPMS.
