    Am abit concerned - there's several people who am sure don't have the correct social security criterion nor any relatives that would qualify, yet are getting cars from Motability scheme suppliers (these people have the same or less of a condition(s) than myself). Motability when I tried to speak to them to try getting to the bottom of this, did not even want to 'give me the time of day' and am reaching figurative roadblocks in being able to find out how they're being successful in their claims and whether there is another scheme in place for those who are not directly applicable through the Mobility components of Social Security. Any ideas as to what might be going on here, as am all out of ideas and desperately want to continue my independence as an autistic adult - thanks

    When i looked at a possible Motability car at age 75 i was told i was too old! and as i can look after myself (although i live alone) i dont as yet require a daily help for my shopping and ablutions and can just about manage 50yds with a walking stick, i have paid to have handrails fitted at my front and side doors and rented a stairlift(cannot go up or down due to requiring new knees ,3yrs waiting!) My basic state pension is supplemented by an additional small private pension so cannot claim any additional supplementory benefits,and our recent state pension increase altered my tax code so i only got about half of that!! thank you Mr Hunt, NOT!

      My mother was still driving mobility cars at 85 , so you weren’t too old . The reason you are not entitled to one ,is probably because you can walk 50 yards , which is a lot more distance , than required to qualify for enhanced mobility PIP . You would only qualify for the lower rate mobility on PIP which doesn’t cover a mobility scheme car .

    Why isn't there a motability element to Attendance Allowance? I'm over 75 and on the higher rate of Attendance Allowance, but I can't get a car on the motability scheme. Seems very unfair. So basically, if you are over 75 and not in receipt of the 4 benefits mentioned, you are unable to get a car through the scheme.

    March 2024 - if you have just under a year left ask the garage or motability anyway, because of all the delays they are being flexible right now, the man at the car showroom told me at the end of January. I was a bit annoyed as that meant I could've put in for the car 10 months ago. Of course don't take my words as gospel as everything changes in a day at times. But again worth asking.

    The move in my opinion does not illustrate Bobath no a day, Specific Handling is essential, the main problem of CP has c change and most of them have Sensory processing deficit that interfere with the sensory modulation to organise postural control. Spasticity is not more what interferes with function. In the movie handling has to be questioning.Take your hands away, prepare for function, Bobath is not worj=king function for functions.
