PIP, an allowance which is replacing Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for disabled people aged between 16 and 64. Just like DLA, PIP has two components: a daily living and a mobility. Each component has two rates: a ‘standard rate’ and an ‘enhanced rate’ which is the same amount as the DLA. You can lease a Motability Scheme car by using the Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of PIP.
If you receive DLA, you will be asked to make a claim for PIP by the DWP before the end of 2019. Until that point, you do not need to do anything.
If you’re a DLA claimant, you won’t need to submit a claim for PIP until you are contacted before the end of 2019. If you are due to renew , you should follow the normal process set by the DWP.
Please note you will receive separate notice of this.
The Government is currently in the process of replacing Disability Living Allowance (DLA) with Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for disabled people aged between 16 and 64. If you are awarded the Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of PIP you will continue to be able to lease a car, scooter or powered wheelchair through the Motability Scheme.
If the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) decides you are not eligible for ERMC PIP, you will no longer be eligible to use the Motability Scheme. Unfortunately, vehicles are only leased through the Motability Scheme to people who receive one of the relevant mobility allowances.
