The only way you can qualify for a car, is if you were awarded Enhanced Mobility under PIP.

You could then access the Motability scheme.

Hi @kappanike, welcome to the community.

Kimmy is correct here, you'd need to apply for PIP and be awarded the higher rate of mobility to qualify for a Motability car. Lots of our members have been through the process so I'm sure you'd get some good advice if you decide to apply 😊
