Motability Car And The Government

[driverdale1]

Ive just qualified to receive a motability car if i want, but ive heard the government plan to take back about 30 pounds a week from those on this benefit. As i dont keep up to date with politics i was wondering if anyone can verify this or put me right as to what is happening and when?..thanks in advance.



Not all disabilities are physical .

I haven't heard anything about this. You pay for the car from your DLA or PIP allowance, usually around £50 a week

Have a look at this, no mention of a £30 take back.

I could be wrong, but I think the eligibility requirements are changing, and as such SOME people who get mobility allowance will have theirs cut. As they use that for a car, they may be forced to get rid. I am disabled an eligible myself, but I choose not drive so have no real interest.

I think it's the ESA they are taking the £30 from but I may be wrong. It's definitely not DLA.

As far as I remember, DLA is NOT being cut, but is being frozen, with no increase

Carakeel has a disability car, we have not heard anything!
