The payment can help people access the Motability Scheme and is also available to those claiming Adult or Child Disability Payment and DLA.
The Motability Scheme enables people on disability benefits to exchange all or part of their qualifying weekly mobility allowance for a brand-new car, Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle, scooter or powered wheelchair, so they can enjoy more freedom and independence. New figures from the company behind the life-changing Motability Scheme show there are now over 800,000 customers across the UK, including 80,000 living in Scotland.
People can choose to send the money directly to the dealer to help towards an Advance Payment, or have it paid in full to themselves after they get their vehicle. They also added that the end date only affects new customers. If you have not already had the New Vehicle Payment, you will get it with your next car - even if that’s after January 3, 2025.
It’s important to note that both these schemes are operated by Motability Operations Ltd and follow the same eligibility guidelines. Latest Disability Benefits News Electric Vehicles Guidance on the website states: “As manufacturers move their attention to electric vehicles , we’re able to bring more choice to the Scheme.
