Hi,
I went through the grants process, and my understanding of it is first and foremost it must suit the needs of the individual and if you are a family and size of family as they recognise that all family members go out for days out etc etc.
when I applied I had already ordered the car, yes they said about cars on the scheme which might be suitable and I informed them that I had looked at said vehicles and these were unsuitable for space or my sons needs, anyhow they gave me a grant and a list of vehicles to look at but as I already ordered the grant covered the ap.
there was a list attached to the letter yes they were all basic trim models, and if I had wanted a different trim I would have ended up paying extra on top, but as I have a big family they allowed a seven seater and I was to choose from Vauxhall combo life up to Peugeot 5008.
i had to give them the sizes of the special needs buggy, and how many travel in the car, can you not exaggerate the size of your wheelchair and explain that when your on your own you would be unable to take wheels off etc etc, therefore needing a boot that can fit it in assembled.
if I can help you further I will try, that’s how it worked for me but don’t go ordering a car before you get a list of what you can order.
as you are terminating mid lease you should get a pro rata rate on your advance ap and gcb on your current car, yes this will be paid after you hand car back but at least you can recuperate some monies.
