I am on indefinite DLA and ESA (not able to work) Fortunately I retire officially in July this year (2014). I have always had the money for the DLA but am thinking of changing to getting a mobility car. Will they want to change me to PIP if I change to a car. I get highest level mobility and lowest in personal care. How much will having a car take away from my DLA benefit. I don't want the stress of changing to PIP so will it affect me getting a car ?

Using your Mobility award for a car will not result in your being transferred to PIP
How much of you allowance is used will depend on what car you pick, but most Motability options use the full Mobility payment.
