flag The UK's Conservative Party proposes limiting Motability eligibility to severe disability cases, targeting mental health conditions and aiming to cut welfare costs.

flag The Conservative Party proposes restricting the Motability scheme to those with severe physical disabilities by tightening eligibility for the enhanced Personal Independence Payment, potentially excluding people with mild mental health conditions like ADHD, depression, and anxiety. flag The move, championed by leader Kemi Badenoch, aims to reduce welfare spending and prevent perceived abuse, with plans to shield future reforms from legal challenges by leaving the European Convention on Human Rights. flag The scheme’s vehicle costs reached £3 billion in 2024–25, and its recipient base has more than doubled since 2019. flag Critics, including Labour and disability advocates, warn the changes could harm vulnerable groups and reflect past failures in welfare management.
