Removing Enhanced Mobility rate??

I have just read the post by S Stone on page 11 of the recent post by Steve Donaldson.

This poster states that he had his award removed because he can 'drive a motability vehicle and use a Sat Nav'. Whatever next????

Is this lawful on the part of the DWP? Can this reason be used by them to NOT award the enhanced rate? It's barbaric. Could this be challenged successfully at a tribunal appeal?

If this is the case then Motability as a company would not be able to continue to trade as I would imagine that most people who drive a motability vehicle are disabled. I know some are unable to drive, but I would imagine that they are in the minority.

Hi md,

I can't really comment on the individual case in question without knowing the full details.

It would of course depend on the individuals stated limitations, but I agree that on the face of it, it is certainly challengeable at MR and to The FTT !!
