The DWP confirms Motability eligibility will use new PIP criteria, not Attendance Allowance, with no immediate changes.

The Department for Work and Pensions has updated its guidance on the Motability scheme, confirming that changes to the rules for qualifying for the program will be based on the new Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment criteria. The update follows calls from advocacy groups urging the government to align Motability eligibility with Attendance Allowance, but the DWP stated that current PIP assessments remain the standard for determining eligibility. No immediate changes to the scheme have been announced, and existing recipients will continue under current rules.
