Scootamatic are proud to be an accredited Motability Dealer. The Motability government scheme is designed to help disabled people to purchase mobility products with grants and flexible finance. 
If you receive the High Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance (HRMC-DLA) or the War Pensioners Mobility Supplement (WPMS), Scootamatic, in association with Motability, can help you get a new mobility scooter of your choice for a lot less than you might think.
In the UK, over 1.8 million disabled people receive the HRMC-DLA and over 16,000 receive the WPMS. Currently, there are over 500,000 disabled people that have chosen to pay their allowances to the Motability scheme to meet the cost of having a powered wheelchair or scooter, through the Contract Hire or Hire Purchase plans.
Am I eligible for the Motability Scheme?
If you claim the HRMC-DLA or the WPMS, you’re eligible – it’s that simple. There are no credit checks and no waiting lists.
You can check your eligibility by calling one of the following:
1. For the HRMC-DLA, contact the Department of Work and Pensions on 0845 712 3456.
2. For WPMS, contact the Services Personnel and Veterans Agency on 0800 169 2277.
Get mobile today! It’s simple. There are no waiting lists and no credit checks.
Simply exchange all or part of your allowance (currently £49.10 a week for DLA and £54.85 a week if you receive the WPMS) for your brand new mobility scooter.
What does it cost?
Well, you could end up paying less than your mobility allowance. If all of your mobility allowance is not used, the remainder will be paid to you in the usual way.
The Motability Powered Scooter Scheme offers an extensive range of mobility scooters and accessories.
