Matthew Goodwin A personal wheelchair budget scheme has been introduced in England. Your local integrated care board (ICB) should be able to provide more information on provision in your area. Our research suggests that almost half 48 per cent of eligible non-customers are unaware of the scheme, and a further 9 per cent are unaware of its services. [footnote 6] Awareness is especially low among PIP recipients, and we are working with DWP to reinstate direct communications about the Scheme to successful PIP applicants. Our research suggests that the most common route for customers to find out about the Scheme is through a friend or relative. [footnote 7] Existing customers are, however, very positive about the scheme and its impact. For example, 99 per cent of customers say that the scheme provides worry-free motoring. [footnote 8] Grants to support the mobility of disabled people You can borrow a walking frame from the NHS. Speak to a GP, physiotherapist or hospital staff. You might have to pay a deposit.

You might be able to get a voucher. This allows you to pay towards the cost of a different type of wheelchair. Borrowing a wheelchair Motability is a national charity which aims to enhance the lives of disabled people with their personal mobility. Our vision is that no disabled person should be disadvantaged due to poor access to transportation. We help people to enjoy the freedom and independence to work, to learn, to get to appointments and to see family and friends. We provide a range of grants to help people with a range of disabilities and we oversee the Motability Scheme (‘the Scheme’), through which some disabled people can use enhanced mobility benefits to lease a car, scooter or powered wheelchair. The Scheme is operated for us on a contract basis by Motability Operations Ltd. There are several ways you can get a wheelchair. Depending on your individual circumstances you may need to pay towards the costs. Getting an NHS wheelchair Ask a GP, physiotherapist or hospital staff to refer you to your local wheelchair service for an assessment. You'll need to do this before you can get an NHS wheelchair. A small secretariat, based in Glasgow, York and London, supports the SMC. Commissioners Ryan Hensonpublishing an annual report setting out our views on the progress made towards improving social mobility in the United Kingdom

Beyond this, as a charity we also offer grants to customers who need more expensive adaptations such as wheelchair swivel seats or electronic controls, either when they first lease a vehicle or part way through the lease. This is explained below. The Motability Scheme: eligible non-customers The Committee is especially interested in why two thirds of those in receipt of enhanced mobility benefits do not use the Scheme. The Scheme has over 620,000 customers. 94 per cent of car scheme customers have a physical impairment or another long term health condition. [footnote 1] 23 per cent of car scheme customers live with a mental health condition or psychological difficulties; this figure is increasing over time and is also higher among new customers receiving PIP. [footnote 2] We know from customers that the scheme reduces the stress and worry of struggling to get around and improves quality of life. For example, 85 per cent of car scheme customers say that access to a car has improved their access to medical services and 77 per cent say that their health has actually improved as a result of having a car. [footnote 3] Similarly around education, 29 per cent of car scheme customers aged under 24 said that having a car had helped them to pursue their education. And while 17 per cent of disabled people report that transport difficulties are a barrier to labour market participation, [footnote 4] 39 per cent of those not retired, permanently unable to work or in full time education said that their Motability car had enabled them to get a job, progress in the labour market, or stay in work. [footnote 5] xxxx is xx and lives with his xxxx (now his carer) and young xxx in a ground floor flat. He fell from a balcony, resulting in paraplegia and serious brain injury. He didn’t consider the Scheme for a while as xx was severely depressed, but xx now refers to it as a lifesaver. As a family they can now manage the school run, hospital appointments and food shopping rather than relying on parents, and xxxx is even able to take short trips alone with his son. The Motability Scheme: value for money
