    To join the Motability scheme you will need Enhanced mobility PIP. Therefore you will need to wait for a decision to made on your PIP claim. If it's Enhanced mobility then you'll be able to exchange your mobility payments for a vehicle of your choice. See link for more information. https://www.motability.co.uk/how-it-works/
