My motability award was reduced because I was able to keep eye contact.
I appealed under the mandory reconciliation and it was 7 months before they put it back but in the 7 months I still had the car but it was not paid for and now motability want 2000 from me or I have to give the car back.
I don't think that a un qualified person who is not medically trained is in a position to take this decision on my need for a car then expect me to find 2 grand.
Any chance you have any information on this.

Surely if they don't take the car while it's being reviewed and they don't take the money either and in the 7 months it took to get the award put back to the highest rate as it was for the past 15 years and in the time that it was under reconsider I was paid a different amount of pip each month so I didn't even know what was going on.

Hi @montyboy and welcome, I have no experience with motability , have you spoke to them about this situation if so what did they say?2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

It sounds correct to me. You continued to lease the vehicle, so now you need to pay what you owe them from the money you received after the 7 month wait. The motability scheme isn't free and you exchange your mobility payments for the lease of a vehicle.Having said that i'm very surprised they continued to allow you to keep your vehicle while you didn't have a Enhanced mobility award during those 7 months.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
