DWP PIP and DLA Claimants Urged to Claim £750 Payment Before Time Runs Out
If you receive Personal Independence Payment (PIP) or Disability Living Allowance (DLA), there’s an important financial opportunity you shouldn’t overlook. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced a one-off payment of £750 available for claimants looking to acquire new items through the Motability Scheme. However, the clock is ticking, and you must act quickly to take advantage of this offer.
This £750 payment, referred to as the New Vehicle Payment, is specifically designed to assist individuals who are leasing a vehicle for the first time. Many people may not be aware that they are eligible for this bonus, which can be used toward a brand-new car or Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV). The payment can be directed either to your vehicle dealer as a contribution towards an advance payment or received after the vehicle acquisition. This incentive was originally set to end on December 31, 2024, but due to popular demand and to accommodate the festive period, the deadline has been extended to January 3, 2025.

More than 800,000 individuals currently benefit from the Motability Scheme, which allows them to exchange all or part of their weekly mobility allowance for a range of essential resources, including cars and scooters. Those eligible for this scheme are recipients of the higher rate mobility component of PIP and DLA. If you haven’t yet used the New Vehicle Payment, don’t worry—this offer is still available for your next vehicle acquisition, even if it happens after the January deadline.
It's crucial to note that this payment is not only for cars. For scooter and powered wheelchair users, there’s a separate New Product Payment of £100 available, which is also set to expire on January 3, 2025. However, claimants cannot receive both the New Vehicle Payment and the New Product Payment.
To see if you qualify for this £750 payment, you can use the online eligibility tool available on the Motability Scheme website. This payment can significantly ease the financial burden of obtaining a new vehicle, particularly as some models now offer advance payments as low as £1,000. Clients can enjoy numerous benefits with their new vehicles, including insurance, servicing, maintenance, and breakdown assistance, making it a comprehensive package that supports mobility.
If you're considering applying, don’t delay. Reach out to your dealer and complete your order before the cut-off date to ensure you can receive the full benefits of this scheme. The Motability Scheme is continually updating its offerings, especially as manufacturers pivot towards electric vehicles, providing even more options to enhance your mobility experience. This is a fantastic chance to secure vital assistance and make your daily life a little easier, so take action now!
