We have had a new car about three weeks on DLA and hubby has just got the letter to transfer to PIP. At what stage does the car get taken away if they decide he no longer qualifies. For instance if they decide just on what I he puts on the form that he is no longer entitled will they take the car then or can he request a face to face assessment or mandatory reconsiderations and then hope they don't take the car until after that? Just wondered how the process works and how soon they can take it. Because of the change in criteria it looks like he might have problems getting it. Thanks

Hi Wilma,

Your husband's DLA will run on for 4 weeks after the PIP decision, then the PIP will come into force. It seems that DLA contact Motability towards the end of that 4 weeks and they write giving a date by which the car must be returned. It is usually matter of days/weeks rather than weeks/months.Claimants do not usually get any extra time to keep the car, even if they have requested an MR/appeal.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Not long been sent my motability renewal details for my car and reading the notes,if you are not awarded enhanced rate of the mobility component of PIP you will be allowed to keep your car for up to three weeks after DLA payment ends.Not allowed to keep the car if you choose to or whilst challenging DWP decision on PIP
