Motability

Asked by Nick TimothyConservativeDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 31 March 2025UIN 41167

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people leased a Motability vehicle in each year since 2010 by (a) benefit claim and (b) health condition.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

The Motability Scheme operates throughout the UK and is open to recipients of enhanced mobility Personal Independence Payment, higher rate mobility Disability Living Allowance, War Pensioner’s Mobility Supplement and Armed Forces Independence Payment (including equivalent Scottish benefits). Whilst the Government facilitates the transfer of benefits for claimants who choose to join the Scheme, we do not collate data on benefit type or health condition for those who chose to join the Scheme.
