Hi I gave my moterability car back having had it since 2012 it has changed my life for the worse.I cannot visit my mum go to work visit friends. I gave it back after Christmas unfortunately I cannot walk very well and struggle day to day. I suffer from depression. And I also had a fall in Jan in pain every time I walk I can,t get to see my doc Iam giving up my car was my life line DWP have .Taken it away.
Brad23 it must be so isolating for you, I have a few people who take me to visit my mum, try to go once a week but times , due to me not being able to go,it’s been a few weeks. i feel guilty if I cannot go visit her. have you anyone that can take you or visits you? Susan
Sorry to hear that you have lost your car. I know it isn't the same as having your own car but have you checked to see if there is a community transport scheme in your area?
