    As long as you receive enhanced rate of mobility you qualify. The Daily living part isn't taken into consideration.

    @Spiers1977 from experience from helping someone in your situation some dealers will allow people to have a car on finance because your on  dla/pip  but you would have to make payments yourself 

    You may also be charged interest and i would take someone with you if you do explore this 

    This is only a suggestion

    As Lisa says, you can still get finance on a new car on benefits - much more easily than trying to find a landlord that will allow benefits tenants in my experience!

    There are quite a few 0% APR deals on at the moment too, where you don't have to pay interest on the finance.  They all cost a lot more than Motability but if that's the only option you have, it's better than nothing.

    @OverlyAnxious thank you my confidence gas taken a knock on  this forum so sometimes afraid to answer 

    I knew that some dealers do let people do that thanks for adding  the extra parts
