Armed Forces Compensation Scheme - Armed Forces Compensation Scheme and Motability

You can use some of your payment (an amount equivalent to the high or enhanced rate mobility components of Disability Living Allowance, Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Adult Disability Payment, Scottish Adult DLA) towards the hire or hire-purchase of a vehicle through the Motability scheme.

You usually have to pay a deposit but might get help with this.

If you lease the car, then insurance, breakdown cover and repairs are included. Mileage up to a certain limit is included in the price as well.

If you cannot drive, or prefer not to drive, you can name other people in your home on the Motability Scheme as long as they're eligible.

Motability also offers a contract hire scheme for powered wheelchairs or scooters.
