    Motability car many will have to hand back if they take away Care due to many using their carers who drive there cars for them as they do say that even people who need help to wash and dress may lose this. It is worrying due to not the numbers on PIP but due to cost cuts 5 billion being cut over everything at DWP and even a past DWP assessor said when he worked there it was bad then and with these outrageous cuts will put many into poverty and in the long run cost more due to health issues losing their income. But it is not all doom and gloom yet as it has to go through parliament and the lords and there maybe Equality issue legal cases as well.

    Nobody will have to hand back their Motability car as a result of these changes. The changes only apply to the Daily Living component of PIP, which has nothing whatsoever to do with eligibility for the Motability scheme. The criteria for the enhanced Mobility element of PIP, which is what makes people eligible for the Motability scheme, aren’t changing at all.
