This is a bit of a personal question but I've got no one else to ask and not really sure how this all works...passed my test the other day and looking for a car (needs to be automatic cause of my leg) but because of my only income being the money I get for Alex and my leg I'm not likely to get finance on a car. Is anyone in a similar situation and managed to get a car or got any tips or websites etc that could help me? Thanks in advance!

@stephyb95 That's mad can't you call PIP and go through your options you should be getting high rate mobility? And low rate the other thing lol. Hope it gets sorted that sounds good to suit your needs xx

@erincharlie1226 I get DLA (now called PIP) but not the highest rate that I would need to be entitled to a car haha! Had an operation back in 2012 and they messed up my whole leg so can't work cause of that as I spend the majority of my time on crutches. My mum's friend got her car from a local garage and it's £25 a week so I'm waiting for a call back from them about their automatic cars xx

@erincharlie1226 my family has bad experience with cheap runarounds so I'm a bit wary....my brother bought one for £1000 and had to spend £3000+ to get it fixed back in October😂xx

You say about your leg meaning you need an automatic.. do you get any form of disability living allowance? As I know certain DLA payments entitle you to a car through disability. The only thing you pay towards it is fuel, the government cover everything else. You’d have to look into it thoughas I’m not sure what the threshold is or what kind of disability payments you need to be entitled to it x
