No option there then.
As young people, aged between 16 and 24 and in receipt of the Higher Rate Mobility Component, may be eligible for help towards the cost of driving lesson from motability.
So sorry it seems that that rules that option out as well.

Thats me just sent my family fund application of today. how long for a 1st application does it usually take?
