Veterans UK: Motability
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps Veterans UK has taken to provide oversight of the Motability scheme.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
The Motability Scheme is an independent voluntary initiative that assists disabled individuals in using their War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement (WPMS), or the motability component of Disability Living Allowance to lease or purchase a car or powered wheelchair.
Where vehicle adaptations are necessary due to a disability, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) may offer financial assistance to help cover associated costs.
The MOD provides guidance and support on the Motability Scheme through multiple channels. We ensure that individuals are fully informed about the scheme and other related benefits at every stage of the WPMS process - whether a claim is being considered, submitted, or awarded - so they can explore all available support options.
