Motability
Scheme to provide one-off transitional support to customers who, following their initial reassessment by
Government for the new PIP benefit, lose their eligibility to remain on the
Motability Scheme
In April 2013, the Government introduced a new benefit –
Personal Independence Payment (PIP) – which will gradually
replace
Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for disabled people aged
between 16 and 64. Motability acknowledges that there are positive aspects of
PIP compared to DLA in the longer term. However, over the last two years, the
Governors of Motability have considered how PIP will affect Motability Scheme
customers and, in particular, the degree to which we can assist those customers
who lose their eligibility to remain on the Scheme when they are first
reassessed for the new benefit.
