If you’re eligible for the Motability Scheme in the UK, here’s how you can apply for a scooter or powered wheelchair:
- Contact a Dealer: Get in touch with a Motability dealer. They will arrange for you to test drive some scooters or powered wheelchairs and assist you with the application process1.
- Online Application: Once you’ve chosen your preferred mobility dealer and the scooter or powered wheelchair you want, you can start your application online. Afterward, complete the application with your chosen dealer. Make sure to bring along a UK passport or driving license for the appointee or the customer applying2.
- Eligibility and Insurance Checks: Motability will run eligibility and insurance checks. If approved, they will send you a confirmation letter for your order, which typically takes around two weeks3.
- Ordering Process: When you’ve selected your scooter or powered wheelchair, the dealer will guide you through the ordering process. You’ll need to provide:
- Certificate of entitlement
- Proof of address (such as a recent bill)4.
Remember, the Motability Scheme aims to make mobility solutions accessible and convenient for eligible individuals. Feel free to reach out to a Motability dealer to get started!
