How the Motability Scooter Scheme Works
The Motability Scheme allows you to exchange all or part of your qualifying mobility allowance to lease a brand-new scooter. It is designed to be completely worry-free.
1. Check Your Eligibility
To qualify, you must receive the Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA), the Enhanced Rate Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP), the Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP), or the War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement (WPMS).

Not at all. The Scheme simply uses the Higher Rate Mobility Component of your Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Personal Independence Payment (PIP), or Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP) to pay for the lease. Your standard living components, state pension, or other benefits remain completely untouched.
No licence is required to drive a mobility scooter in the UK. Furthermore, the Motability Scheme offers a complete 'worry-free package'. This means fully comprehensive insurance, tyre and battery replacement, and breakdown cover are all included in your lease at no extra cost.
