    I would assume from what the O/P is asking that he is probably trying to blag a motability lease car on the cheap or he's trolling to wind people up.

    Agree, thats why I asked if they were actually in receipt of HRM...
    Opinions are like bottoms - We all have one, just some stink more than others

    Service Attributable Pension - War Pension - War Pensioners Unemployability Supplement - War Pensioners Invalidity Allowance - War Pensioners Comforts Allowance - War Pensioners Mobility Allowance - War Pensioners Child Allowance - Housing Benefit - Council Tax Benefit
  • I am confused by your post and not sure if you are the person receiving HRM or if you want to get a car via someone else's HRM.

    I think the 5 mile rule was brought in to try to minimise mis-use of the scheme. The car must be used for the benefit of the person with HRM.

    It is possible to have a nominated driver that lives further than 5 miles away. I spoke to Motability yesterday who briefly mentioned there is a procedure that you can go through and if successful then the nominated driver can live further away. I assume not everyone who requests this will be automatically successful and I am not sure what the procedure involves as I have not yet gone through it.
