This is all that Motability have on their website :
You may be aware of the Government’s plans to replace the Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for all recipients aged 16 to 64 with a new benefit called Personal Independence Payment (PIP). This plan is part of the Welfare Reform Bill which is currently making its way through Parliament.
While the plans have not yet been formally approved, it is expected that between 2013 and 2016, everyone aged 16 to 64 will be reassessed to see whether they are entitled to the new PIP benefit. The mobility component of PIP will be paid at two levels and recipients of the enhanced level will continue to be able to use this allowance in exchange for a car on the Motability Scheme, in much the same way as the current Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance.
Members can find the latest information available to date on DLA >>>PIP in the thread in the Spotlights area of the forum HERE
