DWP PIP and DLA claimants see benefit cut as as one-off cash payment binned People claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Disability Living Allowance (DLA) from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) are set to lose a £750 cash benefit this month.
The one-off payment, known as the New Vehicle Payment, which assisted veterans and those with disabilities in purchasing a brand new car on the Motability Scheme, will no longer be available.
The New Vehicle Payment was due to end on December 31, 2024 for new customers, but the deadline was extended until January 3, 2025 to allow claimants the opportunity to order if car dealerships were closed over Christmas.
Mobility vehicles are accessible to people on the higher rate mobility components of PIP and DLA, or Adult Disability Payment (ADP) and Child Disability Payment (CDP) for those residing in Scotland.
This deadline has now passed, and PIP and DLA claimants who are considering ordering a new car have been hit with a blow as they will no longer be eligible for the £750 cash incentive.
