Michele has used a wheelchair for the past six years, receiving higher rate mobility component of the Disability Living Allowance, meaning she is eligible to lease a Motability car. When she is transferred to the new Personal Independence Payment, she may lose that eligibility. She says, “With a condition as fluctuating and as unpredictable as MS, some days you can walk much further than others. If I lose that higher rate and don’t have my mobility car, I will be a prisoner in my own home.”
