    To be blunt, this is ringing warning bells for misuse of the scheme.  The car is only for the use/benefit of the claimant.  Because the claimant is living away from home, there’s no claiming going to/from work or shops would be in the claimant’s benefit.

    This would be a breach of the lease conditions, invalidate the disabled vehicle registration with the DVLA and cost Motability extra for road fund licence.

    I would fully expect that sort of use would be declined and should be.  It’s the sort of ‘getting a new car cheap’ that gets the scheme the bad press it does.

    I'm Autistic, if I say something you find offensive, please let me know, I can guarantee it was unintentional.
    I'll try to give my honest opinion but am always open to learning.
