My mother claims pip and needs help getting around. I also claim pip but not higher rate. Can she get a mobility car and me be the only driver on it? On google it said -No, you cannot be the only named driver on someone else’s Motability car if you claim PIP yourself.

I appreciate any replies thank you

Hi, did you look at the Motability website itself under ‘Your drivers’?

Personally I can’t see a reason why a non driver is unable to nominate another person on PIP to drive the vehicle as long as they fit the age category, have a licence, etc.

I have been the only named driver on my wife’s mobility car since 2008 and have been on pip or dla since 2012 since I became disabled, I have mentioned it to Motability as when I first became disabled we needed to change car for something which would take 2 mobility scooters and they certainly didn’t question it.

Right, I think just call Motability, they always seem really nice to me.

You mum can have upto three named drivers on the insurance and your mum doen’t need to be one of them.
