The DWP can award the HRMC-DLA or WPMS to the ages of 3 – 65. You need to be in receipt of the HRMC-DLA before your 65th Birthday to be able to apply for a car on the Motability scheme. You can select up to two drivers, one of whom may be yourself, but this does not apply to anyone under the age of 16. For those under 16, the drivers named on the Certificate of Motor Insurance are the only people allowed to drive the car. Only one permitted driver can be under the age of 21, and drivers under the age of 25 are restricted to cars up to the Association of British Insurers Car group 8.
