xxxx is xx and lives with his xxxx (now his carer) and young xxx in a ground floor flat. He fell from a balcony, resulting in paraplegia and serious brain injury. He didn’t consider the Scheme for a while as xx was severely depressed, but xx now refers to it as a lifesaver. As a family they can now manage the school run, hospital appointments and food shopping rather than relying on parents, and xxxx is even able to take short trips alone with his son. The Motability Scheme: value for money The Motability Scheme can help if you want to hire or buy a mobility scooter. It allows some people to use their benefits to pay for one. Choosing a scooter Rob Wilson is a former Member of Parliament for Reading East and Minister in the Cameron and May Governments.

Tina Stowell, The Rt Hon Baroness Stowell of Beeston MBE Social mobility is the link between a person’s occupation or income and the occupation or income of their parents. Where there is a strong link, there is a lower level of social mobility. Where there is a weak link, there is a higher level of social mobility. Corporate information Access our information Motability is a national charity which aims to enhance the lives of disabled people with their personal mobility. Our vision is that no disabled person should be disadvantaged due to poor access to transportation. We help people to enjoy the freedom and independence to work, to learn, to get to appointments and to see family and friends. We provide a range of grants to help people with a range of disabilities and we oversee the Motability Scheme (‘the Scheme’), through which some disabled people can use enhanced mobility benefits to lease a car, scooter or powered wheelchair. The Scheme is operated for us on a contract basis by Motability Operations Ltd.

Beyond this, as a charity we also offer grants to customers who need more expensive adaptations such as wheelchair swivel seats or electronic controls, either when they first lease a vehicle or part way through the lease. This is explained below. The Motability Scheme: eligible non-customers Existing customers are, however, very positive about the scheme and its impact. For example, 99 per cent of customers say that the scheme provides worry-free motoring. [footnote 8] Grants to support the mobility of disabled people Parminder has 26 years of senior leadership experience in 7 different industries, 3 continents and 4 organisations – the last 20 years of which have been with Shell. In May 2022, he was included in INvolve Empower’s Top 100 Senior Executives for his work on diversity and inclusion. Between 2018 and 2020, he was a non-executive director for Success For All Educational Trust which runs 3 secondary schools in the London Borough of Havering. Rob WilsonThe Committee is especially interested in why two thirds of those in receipt of enhanced mobility benefits do not use the Scheme. Some shopping centres have a Shopmobility scheme, where you can borrow a wheelchair while you're shopping. This is usually free. Buying a wheelchair Our research suggests that almost half 48 per cent of eligible non-customers are unaware of the scheme, and a further 9 per cent are unaware of its services. [footnote 6] Awareness is especially low among PIP recipients, and we are working with DWP to reinstate direct communications about the Scheme to successful PIP applicants. Our research suggests that the most common route for customers to find out about the Scheme is through a friend or relative. [footnote 7] Fig 1: Why eligible non-customers who are aware of the Motability Scheme do not use it (Motability Operations Omnibus research, 2018) Reason promoting social mobility in England, for example, by challenging employers, the professions, universities and schools to play their part in promoting social mobility

The types of grants available and the volumes of grants made under each programme are set out in our most recent annual report. The majority of these grants are currently related to the Scheme (for example, helping people to get the vehicle which meets their specific disability related requirements). The SMC is an independent statutory body (an organisation created by an act of Parliament). In line with the Welfare Reform and Work Act 2016, it is a continuation of the body previously called the Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission. ResponsibilitiesIt is likely that some of these preferences are driven by restrictions in scheme design but that others may be based on misunderstandings of how the scheme works. For those aware of the scheme, car dealerships are an important source of information to help potential customers understand how it works. Tina Stowell is Chair of the House of Lords’ Communications & Digital Select Committee. She is a former Cabinet Minister, Leader of the House of Lords and Chair of the Charity Commission. Before joining the House of Lords, she spent nine years at the BBC where she was latterly Head of Corporate Affairs.
