<p>To be eligible to join the Motability Scheme claimants must be in receipt of the
higher-rate mobility component of Disability Living Allowance, the enhanced-rate mobility
component of Personal Independence Payment, Armed Forces Independence Payment or War
Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement. Customers in receipt of one of these benefits, may
then choose to join the Motability scheme. If the person is not receiving one of the
above benefits, they will not qualify for the Motability scheme. In line with legislative
requirements the gateway for the transfer of benefits is dependent upon entitlement
to specific mobility components and targets support to those with the most severe
mobility needs.</p><p> </p><p>There are currently no plans to look at expanding the
eligibility criteria for the Motability Scheme.</p>
