<p>The Department does not routinely collect information on the numbers of people
who have had to return a Motability vehicle nor on whether they were successful on
appeal. This information can only be provided at disproportionate cost.</p><p>Motability
is an independent registered charity. It is not sponsored by the Department for Work
and Pensions. The Department works closely with Motability and facilitates the transfer
of benefit to Motability on behalf of those claimants who have chosen to join the
Motability Scheme. The Scheme purchases vehicles which are then leased to Scheme customers.
The purchase of the vehicles is funded by the Scheme and there is no cost to the public
purse.</p><p>Responsibility for the charity’s policies and operational strategy falls
to the Governors and Director of Motability. Motability is wholly responsible for
the administration of the Motability scheme including collating its own management
information. Questions about the number of vehicles returned to Motability and number
of vehicles purchased can be sent to: Declan O'Mahony, Director, Motability, Warwick
House, Roydon Road, Harlow, Essex CM19 5PX.</p>
