Just a question on behalf of my Mom who gets Disability Living Allowance. I know there's a scheme where you can lease a car (info on the Direct Gov site) if you get DLA... but someone mentioned to us that you can do this through Tesco too?!?!? Anybody heard of this? Because I can't find any info on this anywhere.

Thanks. :)


Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.

    I assume your mum get higher rate mobility?

    Mobility is a charity but the cars are supplied by mobility operations who are a not for profit business owned by banks.

    You can only source mobility cars through mobility and no one else.

    Think someone is getting a little confused.

    Yours
