The mobility component would enable people over State Pension age to access the Motability Scheme.
A Labour MP has urged the Department for Work and Pensions to include the mobility element with Attendance Allowance to enable people over State Pension age to access the Motability Scheme. Dr Rosena Allin-Khan MP also encouraged the Treasury to extend the vehicle tax discount and exemption scheme to people in receipt of Attendance Allowance .
The DWP Minister said: “The Motability scheme is open to recipients of enhanced mobility Personal Independence Payment, higher rate mobility Disability Living Allowance, War Pensioner’s Mobility Supplement and Armed Forces Independence Payment. “These allowances are therefore only available to people who become disabled before State Pension age.
“The Government keeps all taxes under review as part of the policy making process, and the Chancellor makes decisions at fiscal events in the context of public finances.”
