mobility car

[georgic]

My neighbor has had his car written off.He is quite elderly and has a wife who has suffered a stroke. He looks after her and takes her shopping inthe car. He stopped at a round about to give way to traffic coming from his right.A car drove into the back of his car and then drove off before he could get the number.
Can he apply for a mobility car? Is there an upper age limit?
He will be lost without his car. Thanks for any help on this.

Everything you need to know about the scheme:

Are you eligible for a Motability car?

To join the Motability Car Scheme, you must be receiving either:

* Higher Rate Mobility Component (HRMC) of the Disability Living Allowance (DLA), or
* War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement (WPMS).
