Overview
- The Driving Lessons Grant Programme funds up to 40 hours of lessons for provisional licence holders and provides familiarisation sessions for those with existing licences.
- Eligible applicants must receive enhanced mobility benefits such as PIP, ADP or DLA and also hold a government-assessed means-tested benefit.
- Claimants need a current Motability lease or a pending vehicle application with delivery scheduled within the next four months to qualify.
- Learners remain responsible for paying both theory and practical driving test fees despite the grant covering tuition.
- Motability launched the grant to improve disabled people’s independence as rising living costs increase financial barriers to driving.
