Got my letter on Saturday morning to confirm the decision (well happy lol)so after being in town the day before with karen and seeing some Toyota's on display decided to go to the dealers and got to test drive a Toyota Verso icon(7str)!loved it, absolute pleasure to drive, so have never had a brand new car so we've decided to get one through motability scheme. So I was wondering if anyone else has one and if so how do you rate it? You all take care and breathe easy Aidi x :-)

Wonderful to get some good news for a change. Am really pleased for you. I also get high rate DLA and in my case use it to help pay bills. Has made a huge difference to me because I can only work 3 days per week. Remember getting high rate opens other doors for you - Blue badge, taxi card (if your authority does it) no car tax, bus pass, disabled rail card, you can even get a card to use at cinema so carer can go in for free! I also always ask when visiting places if I have a friend with me if they can come in at reduced rates!

Very pleased for your outcome re DLA. Can imagine how good that felt to test drive the car and the freedom this will bring you having now made your decision x
