The Motability Scheme supports families who care for someone with a disability to help you stay mobile.
You will be eligible to apply for the The Higher Rate Mobility Component (HRMC) of the Disability Living Allowance (DLA) on behalf of your child from their third birthday, it is possible to apply for the allowance before this date as long as the eligibility criteria is met.
Children who receive HRMC of DLA can remain on this benefit until their 16th birthday as long as they continue to meet the criteria to be eligible.
If you are not sure whether you are eligible to join the Motability Scheme, our friendly team is on hand to answer any questions.
