My PIP decision was changed and I now have the enhanced rate of the mobility component now after being denied it originally. I was told before I could keep my car until early next year but now I have the enhanced rate back , can I order a new car now as it was due to be changed in September or do I have to wait ?. I’m not sure

Great news. You'll need to contact motability about your new award and they will tell you what happens.

Another good news story, get checked out with mobility over your car, good luck.
-
Thank you. I just spoke to them and I have to pay Motability for the months the DWP didn’t pay for the car. I never knew this ?. Anyone else had this experience ?

Should receive backdated pay which you can use to pay motability.
-
Thank you Linda , that’s a great help.
-
Yes of course you'll have to pay them what you owe, you can't have the car for free.
-
I was only asking , you don’t have to be so condescending.
-
I wasn't being that way. I was just giving you a straight logical answer.

I have been in contact with them today and they have a process for handling the loss of a vehicle due to status change and I am sure they have a process for getting it back again. Just give them a ring.

It was logical to me - no mobility element of PIP = no Motability car - I had no legal entitlement to keep it
