Taking your vehicle abroad
From Motability web site. https://www.motability.co.uk/your-lease/taking-your-vehicle-abroad/
You are allowed to take your Motability Scheme vehicle abroad for up to 12 months to a country within the European Union and to Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. There are, however, a few important documents that you will need to take with you. The 12-month limit is due DVLA changes following Brexit.
Residence and presence
From the PIP handbook. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/personal-independence-payment-fact-sheets/pip-handbook
Claimants will need to be present in Great Britain, habitually resident in the United Kingdom (UK), Ireland, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man and not subject to immigration control.
They must have been present for at least 104 weeks out of the last 156 weeks in Great Britain.
We treat serving members of Her Majesty’s Forces and their families as habitually resident in Great Britain when serving and stationed abroad.
A temporary absence abroad for up to 13 weeks may be allowed, or up to 26 weeks if the absence is specifically for medical treatment. The claimant should notify us if they are planning to go abroad for 4 weeks or more.
The PIP residence and presence conditions are the same as those for Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Attendance Allowance and Carer’s Allowance.
I hope this helps @James
