Definition of social mobility

whether you'll be able to steer it (some have special levers to steer them if you have arthritis in your hands) Ask a GP, physiotherapist or hospital staff to refer you to your local wheelchair service for an assessment. You'll need to do this before you can get an NHS wheelchair.The Committee is especially interested in why two thirds of those in receipt of enhanced mobility benefits do not use the Scheme. Lease costs were, on average, 44 per cent cheaper in May 2018 for Motability customers than in the wider leasing market. Around two fifths of this difference arises from the direct impact of the tax concessions from which the Scheme benefits. Three fifths is generated from factors such as effective commercial management of the Scheme, strong partnerships with maintenance and repair suppliers, and through economies of scale. The Scheme has over 620,000 customers. 94 per cent of car scheme customers have a physical impairment or another long term health condition. [footnote 1] 23 per cent of car scheme customers live with a mental health condition or psychological difficulties; this figure is increasing over time and is also higher among new customers receiving PIP. [footnote 2]

It is likely that some of these preferences are driven by restrictions in scheme design but that others may be based on misunderstandings of how the scheme works. For those aware of the scheme, car dealerships are an important source of information to help potential customers understand how it works. Existing customers are, however, very positive about the scheme and its impact. For example, 99 per cent of customers say that the scheme provides worry-free motoring. [footnote 8] Grants to support the mobility of disabled peopleThe types of grants available and the volumes of grants made under each programme are set out in our most recent annual report. The majority of these grants are currently related to the Scheme (for example, helping people to get the vehicle which meets their specific disability related requirements). Social mobility is the link between a person’s occupation or income and the occupation or income of their parents. Where there is a strong link, there is a lower level of social mobility. Where there is a weak link, there is a higher level of social mobility. Corporate information Access our information
