Can public funds be best spent to support mobility needs of disability?

A government committee are asking how they can best support the mobility needs of disabled people. We’d like to respond to this using the experiences of people with Parkinson’s.

If you have experience of the Motability scheme, either you’ve been successful or unsuccessful, we’d love to hear your views. Please email [email protected] by Thursday 28 November with your views on the questions below.

All responses provided will be treated anonymously.

  • Why have/haven’t you used the Motability scheme?

  • Do you use your disability benefits for other forms of transport?

  • If so, what transport and why do you prefer this form of transport?

  • Are there barriers to leasing a vehicle through the Motability scheme?

How does being mobile and being able to get out and about impact your life?
