before this gets out of hand with everyone jumping in and getting defensive can i point out Everyone on the Scheme since November 2018 has Answered or had the box ticked for these questions, it is nothing to be worried about and its information is not shared with anyone. it is Not the Dealership Asking or Doing anything but following their OLA (online application), maybe its because its over the phone the questions stood out, if you were their in person it may not of sounded so strange or the salesman may well of ticked some boxes without the need to ask. the only reason they ask the questions is because depending on the Answer Yes/No it opens Another box or form that requires more questions/answers and are asked after the Statement of responsibility on the Application.
example of actual questions on the form:
- is the customer currently undergoing a reassessment for pip
- is the customer receiving an indefinite award
- what is the end date of the award
- is the applicants address a residential care home/nursing home/residential school
- is the customer receiving 24 hour care at their home
its a generic form that must allow for over 200 thousand users, depending on if Yes or No is tick to these questions it opens up more questions or forms to be filled out, like if a residential home more questions are asked along the lines of do multiple care givers need access to the vehicle for the purpose of the applicant, etc etc plus then there are more terms and conditions related to those yes or no answers.
If you are concerned you can always ask Motability or the Dealership for a copy of the completed form, but it is very normal (or has been since the progress of online forms in 2018) it is the standard OLA filled out on every application by every dealership and is for Motability use only.
