What the petition asks
Change the criteria to allow people on higher rate of attendance allowance to be able to claim motability, for if they get ill after pension age.
There are many people who only become disabled after pension age and find their affording a wheelchair adapted vehicle is not possible. Being able to travel and not be confined to a small local area is a great boost to quality of life.
