Are you able to change your motability car ?

My health condition has worsened and I’m finding it harder to get in/out of my low car, and into my manual wheelchair.

I have had this current motability car for just over 2 years.

Is there anything I can do ?

 

Any advice would be really appreciated!

Yes you can although due to covid19 the change over could take a bit longer than usual

Ofcourse due to health change you can but you will loose £600 good condition bonus. And as said above your in for a wait.

i did exactly that in march i changed from a 3dr mini cooper to a mini countryman cooper s both auto as my back has gotten too bad to get in and out of the 3dr mini i was 2 and a half years in.

good news was that they have changed the rules ref gcb you now get a prorata payment i got £400.

all it took was a phone call they were very understanding and agreed straight away. asked at the end of jan and i picked up the new car 9th march fortunately just before it all shut down.

Thanks for that info mitch and good to know about the GCB prorata but what’s the score on the original AP layout, do you get anything of that back?

[mitch]

yes same pro-rata i got just over £70 but the ap wasnt high.

i think £500.

when i rang to get permission to change they told me straight away what the figures were so theres obviously something they look at that tells them what the pro-rata is. they even gave me a date that it went down to the next level cant quite remember the details but they said if i got the car before end of march it would be £400 gcb and £70 ap after that it would go down to x and y but i had already worked out which car i wanted and the dealer had a £500 off offer so i ended up with nothing to pay.
