Access to work grant.

I'm self employed and need a car to do my job. I need an automatic as a manual is too difficult for me to use. Would a grant pay for a car? I get basic rate mobility as part of my PIP or would use the enhanced rate for a mobility car.
Thanks for reading

    It is very unlikely that access to work will give a grant for car. They would pay for things like transport such as buses or a taxi if you're unable to use public transport. https://www.gov.uk/access-to-work

    If you have a manual car are you able to sell that  and use the money from selling the car to buy and automatic?

    Hello @DebBK

    Welcome to the community! :) Hope you are well? 

    As Poppy has said, Access To Work grants will help cover transport. I would also suggest looking on Turn2Us to see if there are any other grants you may be eligible for.
