    My mum had a car on the scheme, she didn’t drive and my brother was her main carer. He was allowed to take the car to work etc in case he was needed. He also then moved quite far away, but still worked locally. So again Mb had no issues at all with him taking the car to his new address overnight as he might be needed and my mum might need the use of the car. Which she always got.

    Now my dad and is new wife, she developed MS and he worked away from home, so he couldn’t take the car. For years, she they didn’t have a car on the scheme for that reason. As no one else drove, but as MS does, it got worse. So her daughter, passed her test and they got a car for when my dad was away working.

    Notice I say had. As both are not with us any longer. But it does show how different cases are treated. As long as the claimant isn’t being denied use of the car then they see no issue. They might put a tracker on the car but again it will only prove if the car never goes to the claimants address or in my dads case sits miles way from the home address, in the same place for a week or even weeks sometimes.
