    Is it not possible to get a Motability grant

    You might think you could and I wonder if they still do grants as talking to Motability recently about getting help in the way of a grant for the £590 hoist I need along with the £445 remote control if only help with part of the cost they said I would not get one because the hoist I have in my current car is OK and not taking it on board that driving adaptions like the remote control cannot be moved to the new car on safty grounds though they pass the buck on that one back to RSA.

    I then pointed out to them that Motability no longer give the option of transferring your current hoist to another car despite that they say you can in there misleading website. OK so you can still transfer your hoist but you have to pay the installers who tell us it would be cheaper just to get another new hoist from Motability.

    To me it stinks of Motability discouraging us from asking for a grants while making out every thing is rosy in having it look like on the surface the help is there if we need it but in reality its not. With that in mind I would say the chances of getting a grant these days for AP are zero.
