    An incorrect interpretation of the rules.

    Essentially access to work remains the same.

    The only addition is that motability may cover elements for the social and domestic use of an aid or provision.

    So someone working full time or in simple terms 5 days.

    DWP pays 5 days

    The customer would pay 2 days.

    So the social and domestic use would be 2/7ths

    Motability may provide a grant for that 2/7th rule

    Where some people have used it is with powered wheelchairs

    Hypothetical situation

    Drive from wheelchair van £30k funded 100% via motability grants

    The customer needs a new powered wheelchair at a cost of £7000

    Access to work fund £5000

    Motability the charity may fund the remaining £2000

    I’ve used access to work several times and it’s fairly complex
