Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to Written Statement HCWS603 of 20 April 2017, if individuals subject to an appeal lodged before that statement will have their mobility vehicles returned.

When the Written Statement was issued on 20th April 2017, Motability contacted customers who were in the process of returning cars following an unsuccessful PIP reassessment.

Claimants who had already handed back their vehicles before this date and who win on appeal can normally reapply for the Motability Scheme immediately, providing that they repay the Support money.

While the Department works closely with Motability, it is an independent charitable organisation that is wholly responsible for the terms and the administration of the Motability scheme and the Transitional Support package. Any questions relating to the operation of the scheme itself should be directed to Motability itself.
