Individuals can opt to receive a Motability vehicle if they are awarded an Enhanced Mobility Personal Independence Payment (PIP) award or Higher Mobility Disability Living Allowance (DLA) award.

Information on how many people have stopped receiving a Motability vehicle is not readily available for PIP claimants and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.

The department does not hold the data requested for DLA claimants, and thus also not of those who have moved from DLA to PIP.
