Your question appears to have stopped in mid-sentence!

However if you're asking about who pays for the repair, this is possibly relevant:
"The RSA Motability loss and damage insurance policy only covers non cosmetic repairs (those affecting the safe and normal operation of the product). If you opt to repair cosmetic damage this will need to be done at your own cost"

So, if the damage is seen as "affecting the safe and normal operation of the product" it's covered by insurance. Otherwise it's not.
Rim damage can be an MoT failure, depending on the severity. Ask a garage, then Buenchico's link will give you the answer.
ring up your usual
I have found them very helpful
you are more likely to breakdown - flat tyre and all that
I wouldnt have thought it was cosmetic

Oh it has hasn't it !! Apologies, it should have asked ' what is the procedure and who is responsible for the costs ?' Apologies !
Laughing Gravy, a company like ChipsAway would come to your house or anywhere else that you liked and repair your scuffed rim.
Doesn't have to be ChipsAway though, there are plenty of other mobile smart repairers around ( Check your Yellow pages ).

My link seems to have covered the answer then. Contact your Motability dealer and also contact the insurer. (Their claims phone number is 0300 037 3737 or there's an online claim form here: https://www.motability.rsagroup.co.uk/claims.html )
Your insured against theft at no excess to you. So remove the damaged wheel leave the car 'bricked up' and tell them someone has stolen your wheel They will come out and fit a new wheel free of charge ;-)
