The Motability scheme plays a vital role in removing barriers for many disabled people. It supports independence, employment, family life, and participation in communities.

Through this survey, we want to understand:
• How disabled people currently experience Motability
• What impact recent and upcoming changes to the service may have
• Why the scheme is important and where it falls short

Your experiences will help us build evidence and strengthen our advocacy.

Complete our survey online here: https://forms.office.com/e/Kz5MfsYrWE

An Easy Read version of the survey is also available here: https://inclusionscotland.org/news/motability-service-survey
