Hi talljenn welcome to the Scope community . Try this http://www.motability.co.uk/contact-and-support/faqs/do-i-get-the-advance-payment-back

Hi,You can't claim this payment back unfortunately. There's lot of cars available without any advance payments, it's your choice if you decide to choose a car with an advance payment.Other benefits you can claim will totally depend on your circumstances. Do you receive daily living part of PIP as well as the mobility part? Do you live alone or classed as living alone? Does anyone claim carers allowance for looking after you?

Advance payment deposits are usually only paid back at the end of the 3 year contract, providing, of course, the vehicle is in good condition, when you return it. -
The advance payment is NOT paid back but you do receive £250 if the car is returned in good condition after the 3 year rental.
