Disabled drivers in rural Scotland are worried they could lose their independence or face high charges due to changes to the Motability scheme.
The scheme allows disabled people to use part of their disability benefit to lease a vehicle, which many rely on for their work, health and everyday life.
New mileage limits and higher insurance excess charges are to be introduced elsewhere in the UK from July, which Motability says is necessary to manage rising costs.
The changes were due to take effect in Scotland, but discussions between the Scottish government and Motability have delayed this date. There is now uncertainty over when the changes will roll out.
Campaigners say rural communities, with limited public transport, would be hit the hardest.
From 1 July, new Motability leases elsewhere in the UK will include a standard annual mileage allowance of 10,000 miles a year – half the previous 20,000-mile limit.
Drivers who exceed that allowance will be charged 25p for every additional mile.
Insurance, servicing, maintenance, and road tax are also included in the scheme.
