Hi all.

Hope your all doing well ?

I think i may be right in saying that motablity offer free 40 hrs

If on high rate pip mobility.

But I don't want car .

I find the website very difficult to understand.

Thank you

I hate to be pedantic but you need a car to have driving lessons! I want one myself but the stupid DVLA says I'm medically disqualified from driving due to my disabilities.

Hi thanks for that , but I don't want to lease a car .

I did take lessons about 30 sone years ago but he started shouting after that I lost confidence.

I don't think I could afford it I need to do it for my self and get more independent.

My health is getting worse .

Everything is stand still again its a terrible cycle

It's grey area, as reading. it also says if you are:

Motability may be able to help with the cost of driving lessons if:

• You are already a customer of the Motability Scheme or you are awaiting delivery of a new Scheme vehicle with a confirmed delivery date no more than four months from the date of the application for driving lessons; and
• You receive one of the following: a means-tested benefit, such as Income Support, Income-related Jobseekers Allowance, Pension Credit (Guarantee Credit), Housing Benefit, Council Tax Benefit, Income-related ESA or Working Tax Credit or Universal Credit; or
• You are in full-time education or training (aged up to 25 years of age) and you or your parents/guardians receive one of the means-tested benefits listed above. Full-time education is defined as education undertaken in pursuit of a course, where a substantial period of each week is spent receiving tuition, engaging in practical work, receiving supervised study or taking examinations. Training is defined as an unpaid Apprenticeship.
