    No not for your own personal Hospital appointments.

    The vehicle must be registered in the disabled person’s name or their nominated driver’s name.

    It must only be used for the disabled person’s personal needs. It cannot be used by the nominated driver for their own personal use.

    hi there welcome to the forum unfortunately I can't advise you on this. I would recommend that you visit the coffee lounge for a chat or the games den for some fun.

    Hi @Stentor2016, welcome to the community 😊

    Unfortunately it is quite clear that the car can only be used for the disabled person's needs. Unless there is a personal reason for your wife to be there at the same time you cannot use the car for just your own needs.
